  • Best coaster podcast in my opinion

    This podcast is very entertaining, the hosts are awesome and funny, and are not annoying like some other podcast hosts are. Its always fun to watch them talk about coasters. Also very cool they have a upload schedule they stick too (each monday) although its always fine if its a day late! This podcast is not only fun, but its semi-educational! 10/10 aka 5/5 stars.

  • Exclusive Content, A Must-Listen for Park Goers

    I thoroughly enjoy The Coaster101 Podcast. It’s a great listen with a wide and diverse range of speakers, which can be hard to get in this industry. Always impressed with how exclusive some of the guests are, too. Best part is it’s easy to listen for the non-enthusiast and is make’s for an entertaining car drive. If you’re a coaster enthusiast or even have any slight interest in the attractions industry, there is no reason you shouldn’t be tuning in to this podcast.
