Tony Tequila Talks Podcast Interviews Gina Rock

In April 2021, Gina was interviewed by the Tony Tequila Talk's Podcast. This unique podcast focuses on wrestling. The host, Tony Merino, was once employed by Ringling Brothers, just like Gina. He was a part of the elephant crew, which is Gina's favorite animal. Gina was in the elephant act with Gunther Geble Williams while she was at Ringling Brothers. What we didn't know about Gina is that she was friends with some famous wrestlers, like "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Jay York, and even Andy Kaufman. Listen to this one-of-a-kind interview to learn more about it.

Tinker Bell Does Her First Convention


Gina had a blast participating in her first convention on Sunday for Virtual Mouse-Con 2020. She wanted me to give a special thank you to Steven Wyatt, the one who plans the Mouse-Cons (among other conventions) and for conducting her interview. 

She wants to thank the fans of Mouse-Con who made her interview the top viewed interview of the convention. Gina also wanted to thank me, Joshua Shaffer, for setting it up for her as well.

Gina is looking forward to meeting people in person (hopefully) at the next Mouse-Con in November 2021.

Tinker Bell on the Moustalgia Podcast

 

Mousetalgia is one of the top Disney podcasts and Gina was so excited to be interviewed by them. She is in episode #626 and it was published on October 19, 2020.

"This week, we’re thinking Tink! You may have thought you knew all there was to know about Tinker Bell, but Mousetalgia dives in and considers the flight of everyone’s favorite fairy by looking at some interesting angles. First, we talk to aerialist Gina Rock, who flew across the sky in Disneyland as the fireworks lit up the night. Gina talks about her background as a gymnast, and the experience of portraying the famous pixie in her nightly ritual in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. We also talk to Klay Hall, the director of Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, on helping Disney relaunch Neverland for a new generation. Hall talks about developing Tink as a story editor for the 2008 Tinker Bell feature film, developing Pixie Hollow for Disneyland Park, and helping to guide the franchise as DisneyToon Studios launched the Disney Fairies, reimagining Tinker Bell for today’s audiences while keeping her roots as one of Disney’s most enduring and beloved characters. Plus – Kristen Carr checks in with a Mousetalgia FastPass… and more."

To listen to just Gina's part, skip ahead to the 25-minute mark.
