  • Great Research, Great Friends, Great Time

    An exquisitely researched, critically engaging, and downright fun Disney podcast. It always makes me want to revisit these films and consider the history and people that made them possible. Also, there are good jokes and nice people talking about what they love (and don’t love)??? A five star podcast for sure!
