How To Listen To The Sweep Spot Podcast
(If you don't know what a podcast is, in our case, it is basically an audio recording you can access online. It's as easy as clicking to listen to it as it "streams." You can also download the file to listen any time you want.)
The Sweep Spot Podcast is a show that focuses on the past, present, and future of Disneyland. Each main episode typically catches you up on current events at the Disneyland Resort, and then we have a "main topic" that might involve one or more of the following:
- the history of an attraction or other Resort feature
- what Disneyland was like in a specific year
- an overview of a "land"
- interviewing an author, former cast member or Imagineer
- trip reports
- and more!
Our magical travel and vacation planning partners, ConciEARS, often provide a quick overview of what is happening at other Disney destinations.
Those main episodes are usually released every two weeks.
Mini episodes are much shorter and usually deal with one topic, such as an interview or Lynn's thoughts related to something about Disneyland. These were generally released on the weeks we didn't release a main episode.
Both our main episodes and our mini episodes are currently FREE! However, you can get a monthly BONUS episode and join us in a written chat monthly as we record our Current Events segment by supporting the podcast by a certain amount via Patreon. The podcast costs us money to produce and provide, since we need equipment, online storage, and more.
The first place new episodes will appear will be our official archive, where you and stream episodes and download episodes. Once you go to that archive, listening is as easy as clicking on an episode. Bookmark this archive!
The Sweep Spot can also be found on various podcast platforms, if you'd prefer to listen through these:

My Ranking of "Weird Al" Albums
1. Poodle Hat
4. Polka Party
5. Even Worse
6. Alpocalypse
7. In 3-D
8. Running With Scissors
9. UHF
10. Dare To Be Stupid
11. Off The Deep End
12. Weird Al Yankovic (debut)
13. Alapalooza
14. Straight Out of Lynwood
It's not a surprise to me that Poodle Hat was number 1. I love every song on that album. What did surprise me is that I ranked SOL lower than Alapalooza, which I had, until now, figured was my least favorite. Both Poodle Hat and Polka Party were less appreciated albums by critics and music buyers, but Polka Party is number 4 on my list. I'm not sure what this says about me.
