I recently decided to refresh my knowledge of the Disney parks, having a lifelong interest and fascination with Walt Disney and his work. Having visited Disneyland once in the late 70s and Disney World and EPCOT center a year EPCOT opened. It has continued a source of fascination. This podcast is everything I was looking for. Just the right depth, it is immaculately researched, and very entertaining. I have gone back to episode one and I’m working my way through in order. I am planning to return to Disney World next year, knowing that there are a lot of changes since I was last there, some of which may be disappointing to me, especially at EPCOT. Still, for the work and dedication you put into this podcast. It really shows!
Always Learning

Listener since the beginning. Love all things The Dis. Have cringed at Michael’s racism in the past, but stupidly forgave him due to him being older. But this last episode on little mermaid was too much. Can’t support this man and his racist comments. I’m sure it’s ignorant racism, but racism all the same.

I like this show but can only stomach Michael excusing bad behavior on account of “his age” so many times. Being old doesn’t make racism or anything else bigoted okay. I’m finally leaving feedback on this show based on Michael’s disgusting excusal of racist anti-Asian caricatures in the Lady and the Tramp. Michael conflates the name of “Siamese cat” with the disgusting portrayal of cats as menacing and displaying a caricature of “Asian” features. The icing on the cake is the racist apologies and revolting dismissals of those calling out the bigoted depiction during Asian American and Pacifican Islander Heritage month. Does anyone listen to Michael's diatribes before they are published? I do appreciate the level of research so will probably give this show 1 or 2 more episodes for the NECESSARY apology before I unsubscribe for good.
