The Nacelle Company Enters The Podcasting Space By Launching A Brand New Podcast Studio, And A Slate Of Pop Culture Focused Shows

LOS ANGELES, CA –The Nacelle Company, the people behind Netflix’s Down To Earth with Zac Efron, The Movies That Made Us, The Toys That Made Us, Disney +’s Behind The Attraction and BET +’s All The Way Black announced that they’ve completed construction on their new state-of-the-art podcast studio and have already secured several new shows to kick off their opening slate. The studio, in the heart of Burbank, CA, will feature shows that highlight the known and unknown history of many pop-culture mainstays. 

“Many companies make podcasts and then try to turn them into tv shows, for some reason we like to do things the hard way, so some of our first shows are based off of TV shows that we already have on the air! Hope everyone digs em!” said Brian Volk-Weiss, Founder and CEO of The Nacelle Company.

“I am so excited to once again be collaborating with Nacelle! This podcast will feature stories of collectors, collections and dealers from all over the world. Nacelle has shown themselves to be true fans and collectors themselves, so I am sure that they will add the right touches to this just like they have on so many other great projects in recent years,” said Billy Galaxy.

“Pantomime takes too much energy, so I asked if we could use mics,” said Gates McFadden.

“Honestly, when me and Brenda started this, I was thrilled when all of our friends actually listened. The fact that Nacelle was interested in partnering has given us an opportunity that’s a dream come true. I can’t wait to be a part of the NacelleCast family! said Austin Knight.

“I’m still in shock that this little podcast I did with one of my close friends is now going to be a part of NacelleCast. It’s incredibly exciting, and I can’t wait to bring more nerdy history to more people! ” said Brenda Snell.
