What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Great series and well cut together. The testimonials from cast members were very, very entertaining and the way the Gorley’s kind of interject and narrate, really helps to drive the various stories.

MatioShack · Jan 2025

One of the best podcasts I’ve heard in a while, though I shouldn’t have expected anything less from Matt and Amanda. Great information and first hand stories about working in Disney. Fascinating stuff.

The door mouse · Jun 2024

Really enjoyed the time of this podcast - not sneering at Disney and those who love it but also not drinking all the KoolAde! Love behind the scenes stories and definitely would love a 2nd season with more of the good, the bad, and the Goofy!

Obi-Wan T. · Apr 2024

Amanda and Matt are absolute delight to listen to, too-notch guest stories and really brought back the nostalgia (and exhaustion) of working for The Mouse! Can’t wait for season 2!
