We just can't stop digging for gold in California Adventure. The Golden State calls to us, and we answer with: Eureka! There are a million (and a half) ways to look at this strange park. In this trilogy of episodes, we'll look at "why." Why was this park built the way it was. What made it evolve? Where will we go next. All will be answered before long, but this week, join Kirk & Freddy as they go back to 2001 on an Xtreme new episode of Trammin' - A Disneyland Podcast! Freddy will return...

Christmastime Topic from Trammin' Episode 291 There are probably a few things that pop right into your head when we say "Christmas at Disneyland."

Christmastime Topic from Trammin'verse: The Muppet Christmas Carol The Marleys were dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The spirit of Christmas, however, is not. Who better to bring it alive than The Muppets themselves! 1992's beloved The Muppet Christmas Carol lives on in the hearts of many, including the listeners of this very show. Whether it be the serious acting, playful spirits, or beloved Muppets, this take on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the gre...

Christmastime Topic from Trammin' Episode 290 There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, at least that's what they tell me. Though it seems there may be a few free things at The Disneyland Resort. At least, included with your paid admission and parking. Buttons & park maps & stickers, oh my. The free gifts are endless, and possibly worthless. Don't kick a gift horse in the mouth though. Instead, join Kirk & Kimmie as they freeload on a priceless new episode of Trammin' Through the...

We may not be thankful for Bob anymore, but we're thankful for Defunctland! Over this past Thanksgiving, Kevin Perjurer and the fine folks at Defunctland released their newest documentary feature: "Disney's Living Characters: A Broken Promise." We have so many thoughts that we can't help but share. Revelations, realizations, and reanimations really got us reared up and ready to record. So sit back, watch the 4-hour documentary, then come back here to hear us spoil on a brand new episode of Tr...

Christmastime Topic from Trammin' Episode 289 Another year has gone by, and another Christmas has come, as it does this time each year. It's mostly the same, and not much is new. Do we crave new things, or do we yearn for the Christmases gone by? We look forward to traditions, letting go of old ones, making room for new ones. We grow older as the marshmallow world of our childhood melts away. But we grow fonder of new roots that take hold. What makes Christmas special to us in this phase of o...

Big Thunder Topic from Trammin' Episode 288 On November, 23, 2022, we released an episode titled “Thanks be to Bob." Bob Iger suddenly, without warning, replaced Bob Chapek, in a grand return to the Walt Disney Company as CEO. We thought this could be the start of a new era for Disney, shiny and chrome. But we were all deceived, for another dark era began. We're not quite happy with the state of the parks and our experiences within them. Prices are as high as the crowd levels, and quality and...

Preview topic from Trammin' Preview: Holiday Foodie Guide 2025 with Kirk & Kev Well well well, we just couldn't keep ourselves away from a foodie guide. We did jinx it though, and I asked my brother Kev to take Rain's place this week. He was, in fact, the host of a world-renowned podcast all about reading during recording. This year's foodie guide to the holidays is sticky with toffee, a little minty, and a little meaty. So let's take a bite out of this news and get ready for the holidays...

Big Thunder Topic from The Trammin'verse: Kirk & Rain Get Away from it All Kirk & Rain, should stay in their lane. But the escape is just too alluring. And if they leave, there is much to gain. With rest, there will be healing. The reason to leave, is maybe to breathe. Get away from it all, and enjoy the air this fall. At the end is return, and so much to learn. The rest that we earn, fades away and we yearn. Listen to full episodes every Windsday and topic-only uploads on Big Thunder...
