Listeners of INTERCOT Insider Live - Disney Podcast that love the show mention:The INTERCOT Insider Live - Disney Podcast is hands down my favorite podcast. I eagerly await each new episode and have listened to every single one multiple times. What sets this podcast apart is the genuine and relatable nature of the hosts. They talk and act like normal people, giving their honest opinions and having real conversations. It feels like you're sitting down with friends and discussing all things Disney. Whether it's planning tips for Walt Disney World or Disneyland, sharing funny stories from their visits, or diving into in-depth discussions about the parks, this podcast covers it all.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the cast of characters that make up the hosts. Gary and Ian never fail to bring a smile to my face with their hilarious banter, while Christene adds a great dynamic to the group. The addition of Michael and Christine has been a fantastic move, bringing even more fun and diversity to the discussions. The knowledge and love they all have for Disney shines through in their conversations.
However, as much as I love this podcast, there are times when the hosts can be a little negative. While they often joke that they "crank because they care," it can sometimes come across as overly critical. Additionally, there are occasional issues with sound quality, but considering this is not a professional broadcasting team, it's understandable.
In conclusion, if you're a fan of Disney parks or just enjoy listening to laid-back conversations among friends, The INTERCOT Insider Live - Disney Podcast is a must-listen. It's entertaining, informative, and truly captures the joy and excitement of being immersed in all things Disney. Whether you're planning a trip or simply want to feel like you're hanging out with fellow Disney enthusiasts, this podcast delivers on every level.
