Get ready to ROCK with Sam, Kevin, and Amanda as we honor the legacy of Fred Joerger—the rockwork artist and model builder who helped shape the very foundation of Disneyland. From miniature models of Sleeping Beauty Castle to the towering peaks of the Matterhorn and Big Thunder Mountain, Fred’s work turned blueprints and concept art into believable masterpieces. We explore his career before, during, and after his time as an Imagineer, and how his fingerprints continue to tell stories at the parks today. Then, in our Imagineering Armchair segment, we dream up new ways to bring naturalistic detail and miniature magic back into the parks—just as Fred would have done. We invite you to become Armchair Imagineers with us! Please share your thoughts and join the conversation about this episode and more on our Discord!

As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
