After listening to Paul talk about them in great detail, I’ve gone back and listened to the audiobooks which made me...”Read full review »

“Update: years have gone by, the show now encompasses more than Disney and … it’s still the same excellent show it has always been. Out of curiosity I looked through the 1-star reviews and frankly they are embarrassing — most aren’t even in good faith.
This remains one of my favorite podcasts...”Read full review »
