Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #49: Pursuing Your Dreams with Lou Mongello from WDW Radio


We have a very special episode of this week's Five(ish) Fangirls Podcast, as we are joined by Lou Mongello of WDW Radio. Hear Lou's story about how over the last 10 years, he's gone from being a lawyer in New Jersey, to taking his love of Disney and building it into a podcast, books, audio guides, even more. And if you know anything about Lou, the topic does turn to food quickly.
Also, no news this week as we wanted to focus on our talk with Lou, but we'll be back to our regular format with news next week.

Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #47: Mystery Actor Archive



We're doing things a little differently on this week's Five(ish) Fangirls podcast. Instead of planning ahead on what we're talking about, we're leaving it to chance and literally pulling it out a hat! What will happen? Just listen and find out!

Also it's another slow news week as fandoms take a short breather before summer hits, but we do have a few pieces including convention news, and a character confirmation from the folks over at Star Wars. Plus it's a new month and that means a new photo challenge and book for the Traveling the Vortex Book Club.
