  • WDW Radio and Lou Mongello are just the best!

    I don’t have enough great things to say about WDW Radio and Lou Mongello. His passion and energy and skill at describing things from his heart are why I listen to podcasts. He says it in the show, but he really does feel like a friend, and what else could you ask for? Couldn’t recommend this show enough.
