Earlier this year, Disney announced they would be laying off 28,000 Cast Members due to the closures.
Since then, Cast Members have been creative in finding ways to make magic during these difficult times. In fact, two furloughed Cast Members have teamed up to create a super fun kids’ podcast!
The Super Secret Hive Podcast officially launched on October 19th. Their mission is to engage children and families to take better care of themselves, each other, and our planet. Did we mention this is a MUSICAL podcast?!?
Furloughed Cast Members Julie Frost and Mike Dombrow have teamed up to create this educational podcast under Frost’s company, KID Save the World. The podcast has been VERY successful so far as it is the #8 kids’ podcast in the country and was recently featured in the New York Times! The podcast is meant to empower families, but is geared towards kids ages 5 to 12.
Not only can you listen to the podcasts, but they have put together a handful of free resources and activities for each episode.
We are so happy to see Cast Members continuing to make magic and spread positivity during this time. Be sure to check out this podcast, your kids are sure to love it! We will continue to update you on the latest regarding Disney Cast Members!
Here’s how you can support Cast Members during this time
