Customer Reviews
Grating voice. Not helpful.
Might be for you but just not the podcast for me! The host’s voice in frequently “breaking”, and he has a strong, very grating northern accent. I do not know where he’s from (only listened to one ep and decided it wasn’t for me), but his pronunciation of the “O” sound (hOllywood studio…. pOp Century) was way too over the top for me. I’d need a beta blocker just to get through another episode of this guy. Also, if you’re looking for tips from an experienced Disney resort guest, you can skip his pod. He says things like “the bus lines are so long; you’ll want to get there way earlier than you think you need to”, but not give any insight on when you SHOULD start to line up, for example. Just not what I was looking for. I’d suggest looking at his episode titles, picking one that you think would be interesting for you, see if you can get through his borderline-speech-impediment pronunciation of things, and go from there n
