Complaint
I have a complaint to make. Why aren't there more podcasts available?! I have enjoyed these since Day 1, I just wish there were more available to listen to.
Wonderful show!
I love listening to Marcus and his podcasts. Very informative. I put together a video about Riverview Park in Chicago that closed in 1967 back in April. I enjoyed putting it together as I was learning about the history of how the amusement park began back in 1904. I haven't ridden a roller coaster since 1997 at Six Flags Great America. The first time I was there was when it was called Marriott's and I rode The Turn of The Century, which now called the Demon back when I was in high school. Looking forward to more episodes. Good job!
