The Royal Podcast of Oz

Jared talks with Tommy Kovac, writer of the comic series Royal Historian of Oz. Note: This podcast was accidentally recorded at 64kbps.

Here we have two episodes of the Old Time Radio show "The Story Lady." This nutty storyteller would tell a quick version of a classic fairytale and add a few strange spins. Well, she did The Wizard of Oz... twice. Enjoy!

Continuing the series of podcasts about the Movies of Oz, Jared and Sam look at The Magic Cloak of Oz, the second film from L. Frank Baum's The Oz Film Manufacturing Company, but it was actually based on Baum's Queen Zixi of Ix, a non-Oz book!

In this episode, Jared chats with Leigh Scott, writer and director of The Witches of Oz, a new movie (or TV mini-series) based on the Oz books.

In this episode, Sam and Jared look at the 1914 film The Patchwork Girl of Oz by the Oz Film Manufacturing Company.

In this episode, Jared Davis and the cast present a reading of Tiktok and the Nome King from The Little Wizard Stories of Oz, in celebration of L. Frank Baum's birthday on May 15th. Cast includes Mike Conway (Narrator, Kaliko), Sam Milazzo (Nome King), Shawn Maldonado (Tik-Tok), and Doug Wall (the Wizard).

Jared Davis and Sam Milazzo discuss the earliest surviving Oz movie, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from 1910.

In this episode, Jared Davis interviews Clayton Spinney and Sean Gates, the director and writer of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, an independent production set for completion in 2012.

This episode finds Jared Davis speaking with Susan Morse, who sang Dorothy's songs in the 1964 cartoon "Return to Oz." Susan was only 12 when she recorded her four songs and had no idea the film was available on DVD. And surprisingly, it was Jared's own fan trailer that alerted her to its availability. Susan not only recounts her work on "Return to Oz," but also of her career, which should prove of interest to many Oz fans.

As the Royal Podcast of Oz looks forward to going into its third year, Jared Davis and Sam Milazzo (and a little bit from Nathan DeHoff) announce their Ozzy plans for 2011, including Oz books, the Winkie Convention, the Royal Blog of Oz, videos, and the podcast itself.

For our Christmas episode, we present Jack Snow's short story The Magic Sled, a story about a little boy named Bobby who receives a sled for his birthday just before Christmas. Narrated by Mike Conway, with the voice talents of Kim McFarland and Daniel Davis. Music by Kevin MacLeod.

I chat with Oz fan Miriam Goldman, an Oz fan with some interesting and unique views on Oz books, movies, events, plays, and even video games! Warning, at about 46 minutes, this is our longest single file podcast to date.
