Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!
This week, we're joined by blogger and journalist Allison McClain Merrill! Allison is a travel writer and pop culture reporter who is best known for being a historian of one of television's most popular networks, Disney Channel! We discuss favorite shows and DCOMs, the golden era of Disney Channel, any favorite former TV stars she spoke with, and her upcoming book titled The Best of Both Worlds: How Disney Channel Became the Millennial Soundtrack. Don't miss another fun conversation down memory lane!
Special thanks to our guest co-host DJ Bob for joining us again!
