Apple Podcasts5stellarstella64United States2 months 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
