  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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

  • Great Disney Podcast with Niche Topics

    Unlike most Disney podcast I just focus on my new park updates this podcast features at all. Where I love most of the podcast besides the two great hosts are that they often going to niche Disney history subjects that you rarely find discussed elsewhere. It’s also a major plus the podcast is LGBTQIA+ friendly.
