- Best Walt Disney World Podcast
I love listening to Lou each week. I look forward to each week’s podcast. I feel like I know him although we have never met. I have tried listening to other Disney podcasts, but none compare to WDW Radio. Lou’s positivity can’t be beat!

I love the concept of this show. The only episodes I absolutely love are the ones with little Timmy Foster. No, I’m not a family member. No I have never met little Timmy Foster. I don’t know if he’s little.. Apparently he is compared to Lou. I don’t know maybe compared to dream finder. I don’t know. As much as I love the concept of the show, there’s no point in me, listening to the show unless he is your sidekick.

Lou is an expert in his field of Disney and specifically Disney history. My husband and I began listening in 2020 and really appreciate the knowledge and humor Lou inserts into every pod episode.
Apple Podcasts5PhillytoFLUnited States10 months ago - Informative, engaging, and most of all makes me happy and full of positivity!
I've been listening since around 2010/11 and honestly Lou just keeps getting better. He is a master of the interview and the people he has gotten to talk with is mind blowing! Even if Disney is not your biggest fandom, these shows offer so much more. He and his family and the ever growing WDW Radio family offer a safe, encouraging, engaging, and overall fun time every week. Podcasts are just the tip of the iceberg of great content offered. My kids grew up to WDW Radio in the house and we are bet... more
