Hello everybody, welcome to this very special Rest is History bonus episode with the head of Disney, Bob Iger. Now Tom, normally our bonus episodes are only for members of our much-loved Rest is History Club, but this is one is a little bit different, isn't it? Yeah, so this week we've done two episodes on Disney. We looked at the man himself and we looked at Disneyland.

And also, of course, if you're a member of the club, you would have got to listen to the coder to our epic series on Nelson, where we talked about what happened to Lady Emma Hamilton after Nelson's death. But in this special bonus episode, we are with Bob Iger and we are discussing with him Walt Disney's legacy with the man who now runs Disney. So a very unusual bonus episode for us, a bonus bonus episode, in fact. Hope you enjoy it. So Bob, here we are, amazing setting, stage one here at Burbank.

And we've just come from Walt's office, which you you showed us. And you're one of, I guess, really three people in for the majority of Disney's history who've run the company. And I mean, no offense, but you're not going to be running it forever. No offense, Taker.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
