- Best Disney History Show
I have been listening to this show every summer since 2020 when I was 17, now i'm 23! I love catching up on the past episodes as a yearly tradition. You have inspired me to study popular culture history, I start my masters this fall, with the hope of working or interning at the Walt Disney Family museum in the future. Thank you for all that you do :) I hope you enjoy this glorious 5 star review!!

United States24 days ago - Sparkling chemistry
Matt and Kevin are a national treasure. Their goofy enthusiasm is contagious, and the topics are delightfully obscure. Impeccably researched and sprinkled with witty banter, this show is a total gem. Matt, even though you’re straight, you’re officially a gay icon. Sorry, I don’t make the rules!
Apple Podcasts5joe3939382United Statesa year ago - This is the show you are looking for.
I have tried to find a Disney-themed podcast that isn’t obnoxious and could be relatively relatable. The 3028 is that podcast.
I have also started going back through the archives and I can say that they have been consistently high-quality from the beginning

Canadaa year ago - Finally reviewing from an apple device!!!
Highly recommend this podcast if you are a theme park/Disney/pop culture dork. Matt and Kevin have great on-air chemistry, and I’m always learning something wild and laughing at their antics whenever I put on an episode - new or old! I’ve been listening since 2017, when they used to keep me company (not to their knowledge I guess) on the commute to probably my worst job to date. Thankfully I have long since moved on, but they’re still recording! I haven’t had an Apple device to leave a review wi... more
