The Voice of the Theme Park Industry, Doug Barnes

Doug Barnes, Theme Park Aficionado and SeasonPassPodcast.com Host!

Doug decided to turn his passion for theme parks into a podcast that has become
a corner stone in podcasting, seven years ago. Doug and his crew have
interviewed many of the creators of the most beloved attractions from all around
the world. As well as traveling to theme parks across the country to bring a
high quality, well produced podcasts about what makes the theme park industry
tick. The show has even been archived in the Disney archives, so it really is
that important of a show!

Doug truly is inspirational to anyone who can’t seem to break into the field
they have in their heart. To turn their passion upside and make it enjoyable for
10’s of thousands of listeners from all over the world! I’m really happy that
Doug decided to come on the show and talk with me about the ups and downs of
following your dream.
