Sooo unique, enlightening, riveting!

Such a unique podcast! Brings me back to 10-yr-old me as I listen to stories that enraptured my childhood. LOVE hearing historical facts, tidbits and connections between Disney stories I never knew! Music is very pleasant. Would love to hear Harry Potter, Little Princess, Matilda, Mary Poppins or 101 Dalmatians!

I’ve learned a lot

I very much appreciate that Paul branched out to all cinema instead of only Disney. There are so many movies I’ve loved over the years that I never knew were based on books. After listening to Paul talk about them in great detail, I’ve gone back and listened to the audiobooks which made me appreciate the stories even more.

How much more have I missed throughout my life? Guess I’ll stay tuned for the next episode.

Great show

This is a great podcast. I love listening to how the movie and the book differs and how they are the same. Good listen every time. I can’t wait for the rescuers episode!!
