about
Len Testa starts off this Bandcamp Exclusive show by reading from a 1968 document which details that era’s plans for a residential community at Walt Disney World. Jim Hill supplements this material by telling the story of William E. “General Joe” Potter, the Army Corps of Engineer vet that Walt hired to turn a giant chunk of Central Florida swampland into a suitable construction site for a vacation kingdom.
