Podcast Corner: Corporate Disney story is riveting stuff

Theme parks, management, movies, tech — it's all covered in this pretty compelling podcast

Walt Disney, cartoon /film producer.

Disney is listed on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) list, amid Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza, as one of the companies to pressure for its ties to the country. The company is a sprawling conglomerate. Of course, it’s the family-friendly 'House of Mouse', which also owns Marvel and LucasFilm, responsible for Star Wars, but Disney is so much more than that.

Its suspect business tentacles are not explored in this summer’s season of Vulture’s Land of the Giants, but nonetheless, it’s an entertaining exploration of the vast company, as illustrated by the episode titles: Disney is a TV Company; Disney is a Theme Parks Company; an Animation Company; a Cinematic Universe; Disney is Bob Iger’s Company.
