Above The Firehouse Podcast

Above The Firehouse Podcast Above The Firehouse is a podcast & vidcast that looks into all things Disney and other parks. Hi, my name is Tony. That's when I discovered Window to The Magic.

I found out about podcasts while on a website back in late `06 that is a tribute to the old attraction I used to ride as a kid. I listened to it & I loved it. I was taken back by how great it sounded. I could not stop listening. I then listened to Paul talk to another guy on his podcast from his computer and the other guy was on his computer on the east coast. I emailed Paul and asked him did you

record your voices on your own computers and edit the mp3 files together? He replied back no and told me about a new software called SKYPE. I found the link and got my own line. I had my own site on the side for web design and hosting called Apartment A Productions. When I was on my computer, Out of the blue I get an incoming call. To my surprise, it was Paul Barrie. I answered it and at the time I never used Skype and only had a webcam and used that for a mic. I answered and it sounded like I was talking to him while he was on his podcast. We talked for a long time and a friendship was made from it. I told Paul I made a DVD of the Disneyland 50th ceremony. I sent him a copy and he liked how it was made. He asked me if he could sell it at his store. I was ok with that because I had his 50th fireworks DVD that I got from eBay. He then talked about it on his podcast and we sold it in his DVD store. I had source audio from the original Submarine ride that was closed at the time. After some research, I found some software to record a small segment. I wanted to give it a try. I loved it, so I asked him if I made something for his podcast and if he play it if he liked it. He said yes. I sent it to Paul to get it played on his show. Well, it never got played for 3 months. After bugging him he did eventually play it. I made a few more and well, they never made it on his show. I then said I am going to do my own show. I told Paul this and asked him what he thought. He was all for it but he said there are a bunch of other Disney podcasts out there so don't do what they do. Do something different to stand out. Great well I had one problem. I couldn't come up with a name. I asked him if I could do a contest on his show and have his listeners name the podcast. I had loads of names sent to me. I got to meet Paul in early May `06 with the wttm crew, and there we would pick the name of the podcast. We liked Above The Firehouse the best and it was announced on his show. The rest it history. YOU CAN WAKE UP NOW! hehe

I also added someone to the roster named Jason in San Diego who was a listener who is now part of the team. I will be adding his info shortly. He has added some cool vidcast so more info on Jason coming soon. Jason Joined ATF Podcast in 2009 and his Vidcast are fresh and original He is a great addition to ATF podcast.
