Having visited Disneyland once in the late 70s and Disney World and EPCOT center a year EPCOT opened. It has continued a source of fascination. This podcast is...”Read full review »

“Listener since the beginning. Love all things The Dis. Have cringed at Michael’s racism in the past, but stupidly forgave him due to him being older. But this last episode on little mermaid was too much. Can’t support this man and his racist comments. I’m sure it’s ignorant racism, but racism all...”Read full review »

“I like this show but can only stomach Michael excusing bad behavior on account of “his age” so many times. Being old doesn’t make racism or anything else bigoted okay.
I’m finally leaving feedback on this show based on Michael’s disgusting excusal of racist anti-Asian caricatures in the Lady...”Read full review »

“I’m a longtime listener to “Connecting With Walt”. I have enjoyed the history and background that Michael and Craig have brought to life. That said, based on the last installment of the podcast I STRONGLY believe that Big Fat Panda would be a significant upgrade to the show. John blew my wife and...”Read full review »

“Love that this is back but you need to work on the volumes. Some come on very loud and screaming. Also they need to be on mute and not multi tasking. Can hear household chores going on on the background and it is very distracting and noisy. Lots of running water.”

Regardless, I love...”Read full review »

“Excellent show, mainly about Walt Disney, with one overly positive host and one overly negative host that seems to work well together. I’m guessing a lot is sarcastic- no Disney fan is THAT negative all of the time! 🤪”

“Michael Bowling is always upbeat and you can hear his smile when he speaks. Meanwhile in stark contrast, curmudgeonly co-host Craig Williams seems to be negative much of the time.
