Tales From The Jungle CrewsRERUN: Skipper Stories, S06 E04Here's the part where I go "holy crap, I've known Dave Marley for nearly 17 years...". We're still doing our reruns for the time being until we get all the old episodes out there, but this one is a special one. The author of "Skipper Stories", "Skipper Stories 2, Electric Boogaloo", and "Really, Even More Skipper Stories?" sat down with us to chat about his time at the Jungle, the pantsless life of a Professor, and writing a book about the place we all have grown to love.

EarzUp!David Marley, Author of Skipper Stories: True Tales of Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise
The Jungle Cruise in Disneyland is one of those rides that you either love or hate - there's really not much of a middle ground there. And if you're like most of us, the "jokes" can sometimes get in the way of the actual ride. Today on the show, we talk with former Jungle Cruise Skipper and author of Skipper Stories: True Tales of Disneyland's Jungle Cruise, David Marley, who not only wrote about his time lurking about the jungles of Disneyland but he interviewed different Skippers across the various decades of the Jungle Cruise's lifetime. These two perspectives...

This was a time before Skipper Stories, back in the hey-day of Skipper Standup. Marvel at the random appearance of Skipper Trevor Kelly. Wonder at the tales of the early 00's. Basically, it's a lot of ooh-ing and aah-ing, is what I am saying. Enjoy this trip back into podcast history!

What matters is for four years he was a Jungle Cruise skipper at Disneyland!

It's an insightful and often very funny look at one of Disneyland's most popular attractions. The book has proven so popular that volume two of Skipper Stories will be out later this year. David is going to share some of those stories with us today, so...
