Fantastic show!

The 3028 is fantastic show. Kevin & Matt clearly research every topic & put a great deal of effort into each episode. They come through as fun, engaging, smart, honest & excited. It feels like you’re hanging out with your very knowledgeable friends each time you listen. I learn something fun & exciting each episode. Keep up the amazing work!

Disney Dedication and Fun!

First, I have to shout out Matt for his support of students in my school district without hesitation. He lent his expertise in podcasting in a moment of need. Thanks, Matt!!
The show is a trip down nostalgia lane and insight avenue. Matt and Kevin do there homework, they know there stuff and leave me smiling and educated with every episode. I can’t get enough, keep it coming.

So good I pulled out my old iPad just so I could provide a review

Look, if you just want a weekly theme park news or trip report podcast, this might not be the podcast for you.

If, on the other hand, your idea of a great podcast involves detailed culinary treks around Epcot’s many annual festivals, the... again, you’ll be disappointed here.

But seriously, if a passionate, scholarly dive into Disney or theme parks and pop culture in general (delivered with none of the dryness you’d normally associate with a scholarly dive into *anything*, then you’ve come to the right place!

This obscurely-named podcast (as a young man, Walt Disney lived at 3028 Bellefontaine in Kansas City, MO), pairs Matt Parrish and Kevin Quigley, along with a special guest here and there, digging deep into topics that spark their interests. And that enthusiasm is contagious.

Listening to the 3028 feels like just listening in on a conversation between friends. That’s not accidental, and it doesn’t happen without a lot of prep work. But they pull it off so smoothly that you never notice all of their advanced prep. I’m all but certain this is one reason why we don’t get a nw episode every week. The trade-off totally works.

I love that Matt and Kevin aren’t distracted by what the other podcasts might be doing in this general space. They stick to what they love, and bring us into their world just a bit while they are at it. They dreamed it, and they did it.
