  • Awesome Episode

    Since I tend to do things quickly or so I’ve been told, I wanted to get the first review of Episode 200, it was a range of emotions. Inspirational, funny, reflective, and most importantly it was like being at a family reunion. Congrats

  • Favorite podcast!!

    I’ve always thought I didn’t like podcasts because I never found one that I looked forward to or listened to regularly, until I found Rise and Run! I searched for a Disney specific podcast for marathon training and cycled through a few before landing here and I wish I had found it sooner! You guys have built a great community and I’m starting to feel like I belong too- excellent job and please keep it up!
