  • Great Show!

    I love getting to hear the ins and outs of the breakaway. I especially love getting to hear it all on the road. It certainly makes the drive go by faster.

  • Couldn’t take it

    Never heard of the before but I downloaded the Kancamagus highway episode. They blabbed on and on and on and like a good forty minutes in the were still blabbing about other things including booze and drugs. Yeah we get it, you drink. Alcoholism and drug use isn’t cute or endearing. Never did get to the part about the KH because they just wanted to hear themselves talk over each other.

  • Mismanaged

    When Drew was just an intern, I could forgive his misconceptions of Magnum XL-200 as the greatest roller coaster on earth. But now that he’s a full time employee, and still maintain this unreasonable opinion, I can’t take it anymore!

    He should be reprimanded by the higher ups!

    … actually if Drew was an intern, that mean he had a superior, whats the In the Loop staff hierarchy?

    Just kiddin, you guys are the best, I raised this virtual beer to you.

    May the church of RMC be merciful

  • Have a beer with the guys.

    Made my way over here because CoasterRadio was feeling more and more pretentious. This podcast is the exact opposite. Chill, nonjudgmental, and like having a beer with fellow theme park enthusiasts. Cheers!
