Author and Disney historian Todd James Pierce joins The Maza’s Musings Podcast to talk about his upcoming book, Making Mary Poppins! In this episode, we explore the creative journey behind one of Disney’s most beloved films — from the Sherman Brothers’ timeless songs to the groundbreaking production that brought Mary Poppins to life.
Pierce, known for The Life and Times of Ward Kimball and Three Years in Wonderland, has become a leading voice in chronicling Disney history. His work has been featured on ABC’s 100 Years of Wonder, The History Channel, and Disney+’s Behind the Attraction, where he brings to life the people and stories behind the magic.
Tune in for a fascinating conversation about the making of Mary Poppins, the research that uncovered new details about its creation, and what keeps this story enchanting audiences more than 60 years later.
And, of course, Meghan makes us laugh with her Cuckoo Bananas Joke of the Week!
