Erin go bragh, listeners! We're gearing up for St. Patrick's Day along with returning guest David Rheinstrom of Twenty Questions Tuesday (and Our Fair City ) as we tackle the 1959 Disney film Darby O'Gill and the Little People ! The third in our unintentional trio of Robert Stevenson Disney musicals after Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks , Darby follows the titular character (Albert Sharpe), an old coot living in a quaint Irish village who finds himself in a series of folksy shenanigans. Involved are his daughter Katie (Janet Munro), a young Dubliner (a young Sean Connery), and, of course, some leprechauns. Join us as we fawn over Connery's Bing Crosby-esque singing voice, and try to figure out just where those little leprechaun-sized horses come from! (Don't forget to enjoy our custom cocktail and drinking rules as well.) (This episode was sponsored by Basecamp , in conjunction with the Chicago Podcast Cooperative .)
