“The Jungle,” a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Disney Historian and Author David “Dr. Skipper” Marley and Crooner and Mid-Century Artist Trevor Kelly, is excited to celebrate its one-year anniversary on September 1st, 2023. With a unique blend of Disney insights, theme park adventures, and unscripted pop culture discussions, “The Jungle” has captured the hearts of listeners, making it a standout in the podcast landscape.

Tackling everything from stories behind Splash Mountain’s real-life historical significance to a behind-the-scenes look at what has been called “one of the greatest Disneyland pranks”. “The Jungle” brings an exciting and authentic perspective to its episodes. In true Skipper fashion, the podcast often navigates uncharted waters, taking unexpected turns that keep listeners entertained and engaged.

Key Achievements in the First Year: “The Jungle” recently marked its first milestone with a live recording event at Tiki Oasis San Diego, where several hundred enthusiastic “hip skips” (devoted listeners) gathered to share in the festivities. The podcast’s fun atmosphere has cultivated a passionate community of fans who appreciate the candid conversations and genuine friendship between the hosts.

A Look Back and a Glimpse Ahead: Reflecting on the journey, co-host Trevor Kelly shared, “Seeing such a wonderful response to hanging out and chatting with my friend Dave has been absolutely amazing. People seem to dig hearing us tell wild stories about working at Disneyland and more. We chat about everything from wild Llamas running down Main Street, to Maryland crab cakes. There’s really no telling what’s gonna pop up each episode.”

In line with their commitment to their audience, “The Jungle” has launched a Patreon featuring exclusive benefits such as a commemorative pin, membership in a “secret jungle society,” special livestream events, and bonus episodes.

Recognition and Acclaim: “The Jungle” has not only captured the hearts of listeners but has also made its mark on podcast charts. In its first year, the podcast has consistently ranked in Apple Podcasts top 200 charts for North America and Canada in its category, demonstrating its growing popularity and impact.

Listener Testimonials: Listeners have praised “The Jungle” for its unique approach to storytelling. One fan remarked, “I’ve seen videos and listened to other podcasts about Disneyland, but they are all just facts and dates. These guys tell real stories about the bizarre things that go on. And it’s nice that these two are also bizarre!” Another shared, “Really fun stuff. You never know what’s around the bend …well, nor where you’ve been either. A hoot!”

Where to Listen: “The Jungle” is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and major podcast platforms. New episodes premiere on the 1st and 15th of each month.

DETROIT, September 1, 2023 (Newswire.com)

Design Core Detroit is pleased to announce the 13th annual Detroit Month of Design, taking place September 1-30, 2023. This edition will feature over 80 events, including exhibitions, collaborative workshops, panel discussions and tours. Events will take place across Detroit and into the surrounding metro area at indoor, outdoor and virtual venues. 

As the USA’s only UNESCO-designated Design City, Detroit models the future-facing creative potential of post-industrial cities that center collaboration. This year’s theme, “United by Design,” centers design strategies with the capacity to strengthen community resources and mutual aid. Focused on the theme of unity, this iteration will seek to cross-pollinate disciplines so a more collaborative and accessible world can emerge.

Detroit Month of Design’s programming highlights the city’s legacy as an innovator in the development of industrial fabrication, honoring Detroit’s prestigious design past while looking forward to its future as a hub for new practices and emerging technologies. 

Featuring local breakthroughs in land use, sustainable fashion, modular fabrication and resource sharing, Design Core presents a vision of the new American city that is conscientious, sustainable and inclusive—ready to further the cultural landscape while engaging with this century’s defining issues.

“As we have seen in the years since the Month of Design began in 2011, Detroit is a key player in the world’s cultural and technological development,” said Kiana Wenzell, co-executive director of Design Core. “We are a well-positioned hub with a unique design history, which encompasses our city’s incredible array of historical and geographical influences. As Detroiters continue to innovate and reimagine their city’s rich industrial legacy, I suspect that we will see even greater attention and collaborative interest from design leaders around the world.”

Detroit Month of Design will highlight key players and districts from Detroit’s design legacy, exemplifying the city’s stake in design history and the role it has played in culture locally and globally.

Design Core Detroit champions design-driven businesses and their role in strengthening Detroit’s economy. It offers services to strengthen, grow and attract design businesses, increase market demand for design services and tells Detroit’s design story locally and globally. Design Core is the steward of Detroit’s UNESCO City of Design designation and is part of the College for Creative Studies.
