About

Welcome to the ABOUT page!  If you are here than you are probably aware that you are visiting the official website for the unofficial Disney podcast titled Talk Magic to Me.  Greetings!  Talk Magic to Me is a critical discussion podcast where us four hosts, Jen, Eric, Danielle, and JD, talk about all things Disney.  What makes this podcast unique next to most Disney podcasts is that it is not a news podcast!  It is all discussion.  The main focus on the show will be the official Disney animated canon movies.  These range from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen.  But the show is not limited to those films.  We will also be discussing Disney sequels, Disney's live action movies, the Disney parks, Disney TV shows/Channel, Disney video games, Pixar, Short films, and MUCH MUCH MORE!

From our computer to yours, let's celebrate the magic of Walt Disney Studios together by having healthy and meaningful discussions!  Your involvement is important to us so be sure to connect with us via social media on the right hand side and be sure to subscribe to our podcast via iTunes, SoundCloud, or PodOmatic and be sure to leave a magical review!

Thanks and remember, "a dream that you wish will come true"!

Frederick (JD)

From the age of 7, Frederick Ward II fell in love with Anime thanks to the phenomenon that is Dragon Ball Z. By age ten he knew exactly what he wanted to do. Draw comics, or more specifically at the time manga. At the age of fifteen, Frederick discovered American comics through his father, and while working for Shonen Jump in Japan was highly implausible, working at DC, Marvel, Image, or any of the comic companies in America isn't. Currently attending West Chester University, on his way to a B.F.A in Fine Arts, Frederick spends his days honing his craft, and using the internet to show what he's got to the world, and to keep striving toward improvement. That is if video games, and girls can ever stop distracting him. “Anime is cool. Conventions are neat. Spider-man's a hero. Sunglasses make everyone look better. I hope everyone enjoys our convention and appreciates the time and effort we put it from the biggest panels, down to the smallest piece of art.”
