Information but at a cost

This show provides good information about all things Disney, however, it comes at a cost to your ears. No pun intended Pam and Ricki have such irritating voices and verbal ticks it makes the show virtually unlistenable. I had enjoyed this show several years ago and left due to those issues, I recently tried to listen again and their skill as podcasters did not improve. Starting every other sentence with the word “so” or “umm” is not how to get things done. Mike is full of enthusiasm. I don’t know how there’s this many episodes with this high of ratings, but it’s not that good of a show. There are many that are equal to if not better than this one.

It’s truly a community of listeners

I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2017 and it’s amazing when I’m listening to the Sunday call in show and recognize the voices of callers because they call in and share their experiences so often. Also, I love the ornament exchange and Christmas card exchange. When I get that card in the mail from Scott and Rikki I really feel part of the crew.
