McDonaldland
Summary: <p>Well, we made it to Episode 2. Even got a great show open with music and voiceover and everything! Thanks to Singer/Songwriter Mo Phillips for lending his vocal talents. Unfortunately our producer Mike Kane was unable to attend this episode, so we went a little long and chaos generally reigned throughout. Mike also missed the playing of "Sorry, Sucker!" which combines forgiveness and passive aggression in an inventive melange of corporate buffoonery. As ever, the episode arrives packed with trivial fun bits including McDonaldland's landmark impact on copyright law, a deep dive on the straight-to-VHS series "The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald", and a shout out to some notable actors who donned the costumes during the tv commercial campaign's thirty year run. Multidisciplinary Artist and Little People America Inclusion Director, Sofiya Cheyenne joins Sean & Britton for a thoughtful review of modern day representation of dwarf actors and Little People in general. She's even kind enough to name our listener. We're hustling to post this episode at 11pm on Halloween Night, just under the buzzer for Little People Awareness month in October. Expect additional editing and updates. Also. Special Correspondent Matthew D. Hutchinson dutifully surveys the aftermarket landscape of buyers and sellers of McDonaldland Playground Equipment. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Check out these cool links!</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonaldland">McDonaldland</a></p> <p><a href="//Early%20Commercial%20">Early Commercial</a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDB_Worldwide">DDB Worldwide</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1987-08-04-8702270270-story.html%20">White Mile Rafting Tragedy</a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wacky_Adventures_of_Ronald_McDonald%20">Wacky Adventures Series</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZE-86jZGUQ">Far Flung Forest Episode</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF-0sYsLP10">Set Makers Catalog Reel</a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Welker">Frank Welker</a> </p> <p><br></p> <p>We should probably have some hashtags too, but let me think on that for awhile, Chelsea. </p> <p>Officer big mac playground.jpg by Jonathan McIntosh used under Creative Commons license <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/"><u>CC BY-SA 3.0</u></a></p>
