Description

Episode 27 of RICHES Podcast Documentaries: Central Florida without a Theme Park: An Interview with Dr. Benjamin Brotemarkle. RICHES Podcast Documentaries are short form narrative documentaries that explore Central Florida history and are locally produced. These podcasts can involve the participation or cooperation of local area partners.

Episode 27 explores Central Florida's rich history before Walt Disney World opened and includes an interview with Dr. Benjamin Brotemarkle, author of Beyond the Theme Parks: Exploring Central Florida. Dr. Brotemarkle discusses Eatonville's Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities, the Barberville Pioneer Festival, and the Winter Park Bach Festival.

Abstract

Although it is often associated with being the home of Walt Disney World and other theme park destinations, Central Florida possesses a rich history that predates any of the aforementioned arrivals. In this podcast, we explore that rich history by speaking with Dr. Benjamin Brotemarkle, author of Beyond the Theme Parks: Exploring Central Florida. By gaining Dr. Brotemarkle’s insight, we can better understand the conditions that existed within Central Florida before Disney’s arrival, and therefore more fully comprehend our region’s complex and intriguing past.
