TDR podcast offers very useful and fun content, but co-host makes it difficult to recommend.
I’m a long-time fan of the TDR YouTube channel and started listening to the Podcast every once in a while back in 2023. I love Chris dearly and his portions of the podcast are just as charming as ever with helpful information and a good sense of humor all around. Patricia unfortunately has made me start turning episodes off due to her constant interruptions without substance and negative attitude. I’m sure she is a perfectly lovely person irl, but her appearances in this podcast are grating. Several episodes involve Patricia aggressively complaining about things in the parks that she hasn’t even done before. Either that or just affirming Chris’ statements with a disinterested “yeah” or “uh-huh” every couple of sentences. I’m fine hearing complaints about theme parks, there are flaws in them. She just never elaborates on her reasons other than hearing about it online. You can tell Chris is trying to keep things lighthearted, informative, and positive but it’s an uphill battle sometimes and the tension is noticeable between them. If you’re going to theme parks in Asia, the info is still great, but I’d personally check out the TDR YouTube channel over this.

From their insights, to reviews, to just how much they care about your family having a great vacation - these two are the best....Read full review »
