main topic this month is the conception, history and early years of

thought to be a theme park and that Walt wanted this to be the community
of tomorrow.  Brian and the gang also discuss the 1966 film
Walt made to promote the concept and also get people excited about what
was going to happen in Florida. How talks about the original EPCOT mailer that was sent to him prior to park opening and we also touch on
