Probably the best theme park podcast that I am the host of!
I love the idea of always looking for ways to make great rides even better!
I thoroughly recommend The Lowdown on the Plus Up. If you are into theme parks and animation related to said theme parks in conjunction with some interesting history, give it a listen. Kelly & Pete can be irreverent and funny and pose some interesting ideas. I believe at this point they are really feeling their groove in what they are discussing and the interplay between them. Again, I look forward to the episodes dropping, and would encourage anyone to give an episode or two a listen!!
