Customer Reviews
Great interviews
Sometimes off topic but most time amazing
Good YouTube series but bad podcast
I really liked his YouTube series with good information but hearing him talk freely about subjects he is highly opinionated and at times maniacal and doesn’t accept anyone else’s opinions. There are far better theme park podcasts
A great listen for Disney fans
I’m a big fan of longer, conversational interviews, and there have been some great conversations on the podcast. It’s a treat to hear about Disney (and other tangentially-related topics) from people with such varied perspectives, from actors to puppeteers, to urban explorers.
