The Walt Disney Company has been in the podcasting space for a while. They have had podcasts on iTunes since that software started official support of podcasts directly in the software. They contacted Michael Geoghegan in the summer of 2005 to do a series of podcasts on the start of the 50th Anniversary Celebration of Disneyland in California. These turned into the Official Disneyland podcast which is released monthly and still produced and hosted by Michael Geoghegan. Walt Disney World followed with a weekly podcast started in late December 2005.

Now the Disney Cruise Line is getting in on the action, sort of. The podcast feed is at the DCLNews.com site, which is designed for use by news media outlets and professional journalists. There are only two items in the podcast feed so far, which are an audio segment and a video segment on the press conference announcing the 2007 Disney Cruise Line Mediterranean cruises. These were produced by David Brady who is producer and host of the Walt Disney World Resort: Plugged In podcast, which is the official podcast for Walt Disney World. He does a good job with the Walt Disney World resort podcasts, and did another good job with these two segments. I personally hope for more podcasts from the Disney Cruise Line and The Walt Disney Company in general as they could do some really imaginative things.
