Aly Grauer and Drew Mierzejewski are Podcasters, Performers, Writers, and Builders of Worlds—they’ve also both worked in iconic shows and attractions at some of Orlando’s most famous theme parks.

Topics Include: Poseidon’s Fury: Escape from the Lost City, Jungle Cruise Skippers, the Velociraptor Encounter, the Hogwarts Express, the idea of the Human Interface, Animatronic Hosts, Sympathy and Empathy in Theme Park Interactions, the Jedi Training Academy, Renaissance Festivals, the Performance of Cast Members at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and the Importance of Protecting Cast Members.
