Podcasts Come And Go, But Coaster Radio Is Forever

“I tend to go through phases with my podcast listening — some months its the big political shows, some it’s the NBA or MLB, some it’s comedy or interviews or whathaveyou. I’ll listen for a while, get sick of the repetition, and move on — returning every so often, in a cycle.
Coaster Radio is not one of those podcasts for me. You may not think it’s possible to do a weekly theme park and roller coaster podcast, and to an extent, you’re right — it’s not. Mike and EB, however, make their show about so much more than that niche might indicate. It’s every bit as much about travel, friendship, getting older, and meeting new people as it is about the new Intamin or what might get RMC’d next. It’s about how important it is to just have fun for the sake of having fun, from dumb characters to fireworks to on-air whisky tastings, and so on.
They are knowledgeable about their subject matter, yes. Mike is a genuine Disney Parks expert (although he is a realist, and not as saccharine and grating as many in the Disney Podcast world), and though this is decidedly not a Disney Podcast, his takes on the current Disney happenings are among the best you’ll hear. He’s also a professional, and is largely responsible for the high quality product you’ll hear week-to-week.
EB is a happy-go-lucky counterpart, always chiming in with a perfectly timed joke, a blazing hot take, or some excellent roller coaster knowledge. His genuine love not just for major roller coasters and theme parks, but also the smaller spots with eclectic history comes through each episode. He’s the perfect yin to Mike’s yang, adding some zaniness to Mike’s otherwise polished structure.
And then, of course, there’s the community. As much a part of the show as the hosts, the Coaster Radio community is without parallel. Recurring regulars, live trip reports, interactive topics, game shows, meet ups — all of these things take what can sometimes be a solitary experience of podcast listening and extent it out to become something like a family.
This show has the juice. If you’re at all interested in theme parks and thrill rides, don’t hesitate to hop on this bandwagon. You’ll be kicking yourself that you didn’t do so sooner.”

“Coaster radio is the ideal podcast for themepark enthousiasts who do not consider themselves coasterboys. I really like the laidback atmosphere and the outside perspective on the themed entertainment industry. Mike and EB present and produce the show very well.
Love the show!”
