I’m beyond excited to introduce season two of the Discover Universal podcast, the official podcast for Universal Destinations and Experiences. This new season will feature new adventures, attractions, lands, worlds, voices and even faces! That’s right — the second season of our podcast will also feature video footage of our hosts.
The podcast team is so happy to welcome Cassie, Dylan and Brian to the podcast for our second season focusing on new things happening around the theme parks this year and into the future.
As we move into season two, we can’t wait to show you all the amazing things coming to Universal Destinations and Experiences — from Universal Epic Universe to all-new attractions and experiences and a more in-depth look at Halloween Horror Nights.
Meet the Hosts
Cassie
Meet Cassie, a marketing strategist, podcast host and theme park lover. From her first visit to Universal Studios Hollywood in the early 2000s to now being a Orlando local and Universal Orlando Annual Passholder, the Universal Parks have played a role in key milestones and family memories for Cassie since a young age. Cassie was hooked upon her visit to Universal Studios Hollywood as a young child, specifically recalling her first time seeing the Water World show and appreciating the production level and storytelling she experienced.

Dylan
Meet Dylan, who you may already know from our video series Ride Guys or the show Beat Builders. He has been coming to Universal Studios Florida every weekend since he was in the 5th grade. (Twice if he won his Saturday morning soccer game, which he tells me was often because they were awesome.) When he was old enough, he started drumming in the parks and helped in the opening of a parade we once had.

Meet Brian, your podcast correspondent for his favorite event, Halloween Horror Nights! His love for HHN began when he was hired as a scare actor in 2017 (although he’s been attending the event since 2014.)
He worked as a scare actor for three years and then began sharing his love for the event as a content creator! He’s been a fan of Universal Orlando Resort since he was young and came to the park as a kid.
