In 2014, Garry compiled the book A Mickey Mouse Reader, an impressive collection of essays and articles spanning more than 80 years that bore witness to the immense popularity of Mickey Mouse and the impact Walt Disney&amp;rsquo;s creation had on popular culture. Garry revisits the eternal mouse once again in his latest book, Mickey Mouse: Emblem of the American Spirit. It&amp;rsquo;s a worthy companion to A Mickey Mouse Reader and an educated and thoughtful study--in words and pictures--not only of Mickey&amp;rsquo;s life within the Walt Disney Studios, but also his ever-evolving presence as a uniquely American cultural icon.\r\nAfter Tim's&amp;nbsp;conversation with Garry, stick around for a new segment in the Lounge with our friend Carolyn. She knows a lot about cocktails and is going to start sharing her wisdom with us on a regular basis. Mickey Mouse and booze, what could be better? They're all in today's episode of The Mouse Castle Lounge.\r\nEnjoy!\r\nwww.TheMouseCastle.comRSS Feed:&amp;nbsp;http:\/\/themousecastle.libsyn.com\/rss","author_name":"The Mouse Castle Lounge Podcast: Disney News and Interviews, Cocktails and Conversations","author_url":"http:\/\/www.themousecastle.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/4130299\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/4130299"}
