Those Happy Places is a celebration of theme parks, roller coasters and fantastical worlds brought to life, and an academic look at how they tap into storytelling and the human experience. It opens your eyes to the magic these places bring. Those Happy Places is my happy place.
I love how much these two love theme parks it really shows in every episode. It’s well research and engaging. My favorite so far is about the Pirates ride.

All 5 star reviews! Great podcast.
I found a Those Happy Places card on the floor at PodCon 2, and the art called out to me, even though I had no idea what it was about at the time. I’m so glad I picked it up and gave this podcast a try. I love Disney parks and Universal Studios, and I’m really interested in what makes theme park experiences so magical. Alice and Buddy’s thoughtful discussions are fun and illuminating. Looking forward to more!
