  • A Must for Behind The Scenes Disney Fans

    I stumbled across this podcast a few years ago and I am so glad I did. I love Dan’s style and guests. Production value is high but simple. After brief introduction, Dan interviews a guest, asking questions that Disney enthusiasts would ask but isn’t over the top fanboy cringe of some podcast. He keeps it real and information is not a repeat of other podcasts or stories. Dan has a soothing and reassuring voice and has kept me company on many long trips and late night events.
