If you like your Disney with a side of joy, this is your podcast. Jim and Len are brilliantly funny and insightful on Disney history, culture, art, economics, technology, marketing, travel, and more. Listening to them riff off each other is gold — and sometimes the only time I belly laugh in a given day. After I listened to about 15 random episodes I went back and listened from the beginning, that’s how good it is. Ten stars.
