Disney legend Jim Cummings launches exciting new podcast
If you were born in the late 80s/early 90s, there’s a good chance that Jim Cummings was “the voice of your childhood.” With a career spanning 40 years, Cummings has voiced iconic characters such as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Darkwing Duck, Taz, Ray the Firefly, Hondo Ohnaka, Bonkers D. Bobcat, Pete, King Louie, Cheshire Cat and Shredder, just to name a few.
Now fans can relive their childhood, courtesy of Cummings’ exciting new podcast, Toon’d In! with Jim Cummings. With a blend of character deep-dives, Q&A shows with fans, as well as conversations with some of the biggest names in pop-culture, Toon’d In! provides fans with exclusive insights and never-before-heard stories.
Of course, the show’s first episode focuses on arguably Cumming’s most iconic role, the honey-loving Winnie the Pooh, detailing how he landed and perfected the voice back in the late 80s.
Next week’s show will be a character spotlight on Cummings’ most popular contribution to the Star Wars universe, Hondo Ohnaka (available now, early and ad-free on Patreon).
Along the incredible journey that has been Cummings’ voice-acting career, he’s been fortunate enough to befriend the who’s who of the animation world, with legendary voice-actor Billy West set to be the first guest to sit down for a chat on the Toon’d In! podcast.
Cummings has partnered up with Brendan Dando and Guy Davis of Australia’s Four Finger Discount podcast network, who will be co-hosting the show alongside Jim and his step-son Christopher Judge, who is also serving in a producer role.
Toon’d In! will also offer a range of Exclusive Bonus Content on the show’s Patreon channel, including audio commentaries of classic Disney Afternoons cartoons, hosted by Jim and his characters. Already available is a Darkwing Dark commentary, featuring “the terror that flaps in the night” himself, Darkwing Duck!
So take a trip back to a simpler time and SUBSCRIBE to Toon’d In! with Jim Cummings, available now via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio or wherever you find your podcasts. New episodes will be available every Monday.
