In this episode, I forgo the news and jump right into the main topic which is the segment called “Disney Story Origins” where I compare a Disney film based on stories from mythology, folklore or history with the original myths, folktales or historical facts. I hope you enjoy.

This episode is Disney Story Origins #2: “Aladdin”.
