    State of the show, and state of my sanity. The technical hits keep coming, the show is under attack on Facebook, and my life outside the show is a shambles.

I’ve learned a lot

I very much appreciate that Paul branched out to all cinema instead of only Disney. There are so many movies I’ve loved over the years that I never knew were based on books. After listening to Paul talk about them in great detail, I’ve gone back and listened to the audiobooks which made me appreciate the stories even more.

How much more have I missed throughout my life? Guess I’ll stay tuned for the next episode.

Great show

This is a great podcast. I love listening to how the movie and the book differs and how they are the same. Good listen every time. I can’t wait for the rescuers episode!!

Thank you, Paul!

The host perfectly balances entertainment and information about each of these stories. The production, sound affects, research, and editing are all absolutely flawless. Every episode feels like an absolute treasure. It reminds me of when my dad used to tell me stories at bed time. I hope this pod lasts forever ❤️
