I would be utterly shocked if you didn't cover, say, Nemo, that's something that anyone covering the parks can't afford to ignore even if many of the same points get covered again and again. However, what I've found in your podcast that is unique is a discussion of what is going on behind the scenes, like the executive job changes, and other things like the shareholder meeting. No other podcast that I've found covers these topics. Thanks so much for all your work!!

Also, even if I do not agree with the opinions on the show, at least they are explained as a complete thought. They are never just "I think Pixar shouldn't be in the parks." Instead there would be a "because" and a discussion of the merits, pros and cons as well as reasons that Disney would.

And yes, the "because" aspect makes it easier for me to respect the person's opinion, even if I don't agree with it. There are 2 other Disney podcasts I listen to, besides the Official and the LP podcast, and half way through, I'm usually "ehhh" and switch it to something else, because either the people talking go off on a Non-Disney tangent or it sounds like they're eating in my ear <pet peeve!!> Keep up the good work!!
Originally Posted By retlawfan I have tried to listen to other non-official Disney Podcasts (only because there isn't more of LP), and I too cannot get through most of them. Actually, there is only one other one that I can finish. The others just get boring. The LP podcast is great because: A) there are multiple people to "discuss" the topics, not just one guy relating the "news" to me, B) They really seem to be having fun, C) The podcast is not filled with voice overs and add ins(it's not overly "showy", and D) They can even laugh at themselves while doing it(ie, Doobie and the Frank Oz comment-Sorry Doobie, I couldn't resist.) It's just fun. It feels like I'm sitting around the table with friends. No other podcast feels like that!
Originally Posted By twirlnhurl ^Yeah, the whole "talking with friends" thing is another big thing. In my day-to-day life, I only know one other person who is interested and knowledgeable about most aspects of the Disney company. Even my good friend whom I spend most of my time with at the parks doesn't care to know or discuss aspects about the parks design, operation, or even the company as a whole. The LP Podcasts give me a chance to almost fill that gap.
Originally Posted By VegasPixie I completely agree with all of the sentiments. This is one of my 'must listen to' Disney podcasts! The four of you are clearly knowledgable, but you are also full of enthusiasm, and even if you disagree, you disagree gently, respectfully. When I listen to this podcast, I envision you all sitting around a big table talking Disney, and I'm just a fifth person, quietly listening in. So keep moving forward!

But mostly he just curls up under the table while we chat. We all love Disney and really enjoy the chance to get together and chat about what's going on. I'm glad that so many enjoy listening.
