Dan & Kat Talk: Recent Episodes
Dan Amrich & Katrin Auch
When Disney announced a full-immersion live-action role-playing Star Wars experience, it should not be surprised that Kat and Dan started saving up immediately. The three-day, two-night experience was intense, immersive, and incredibly personal. If you don’t have time to read the 10,000 word illustrated blog about our journey or simply prefer to listen to the recap, here’s our podcast version, recorded just days after Disney revealed they’d be closing the attraction at the end of September 2023. It’s detailed, it’s emotional, and it’s almost four hours long. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather just read the article?
This show is rated PG-13, in that there’s one f-bomb because Dan slipped up and couldn’t find it afterwards.
Hosts: Dan Amrich & Kat Auch
