WDW Today

 

Category: Places and Travel

 

This fast-paced Disney podcast is hosted by Matt Hochberg, Mike Scopa, Mike Newell, and Len Testa. These guys are entertaining while providing great reviews and information for planning a trip to Disney World. The hosts are very qualified and involved with Disney media. Each episode has one clear theme that is discussed, and we loved the topics. At times, we felt “out of the loop” at the beginning of the shows because of ongoing discussions and jokes to which we were not privy (having not been long-time listeners). Additionally, host Matt tends to speak too quickly and at times has poor diction. Never-the-less, this is a fun and helpful show.

Our second 5 Star rating! Van hosts this show that makes listeners want to pack up right away and head for Disney World! While many shows need at least two hosts to stay entertaining, Van is perfect on his own. He is funny, has a great voice for radio, and is extremely organized. The show is always professional with equal volume levels and music throughout. We enjoyed the News From Around the World and Top 7 segments. Also, all topics and interviews are clear and concise in the delivery. Whether you are planning a trip to Disney or just a big fan, you can’t go wrong with show.

The DIS Unplugged

 

 

Category: Places and Travel

 

Interested in all things Disney? Check out Pete Warner and the “round table” hosts in this relaxed “average Joe” look at Walt Disney World. They have a discussion podcast released every Wednesday and then an e-mail/voicemail podcast released each Thursday. The chemistry of the hosts is good as they all seemed like close friends. This show also incorporates “Disney Land Correspondents” so that both parks are covered. Unfortunately, this podcast didn’t sell us on Walt Disney World. We found out more negative things about the parks than positive. As a result, we felt this show would be better aimed at those wanting to know about Disney as a company rather than those simply planning a vacation there. Additionally, this show is usually over an hour in length and could use more regular segments.

Boxcutters

 

Category: TV and Film


The premise of Boxcutters is simple: it’s a show about all things television. Hosts Josh, Brett, and John broadcast from Australia and have a lot of fun reporting the latest gossip in television, and their humor bleeds into the content. Well placed segments in the show help listeners better absorb the content and assist in the flow of the podcast. Segments include News, Letters to Boxcutters, Quiz, and Pork. We’d love to see “Grasping at Straws” become a regular segment as well. Deserving of attention is the creativity used to lead into each part of the podcast. These transitions are concise, comedic, and attention-getting. After small talk, the hosts jump into an analysis of the television show of topic. What may be most refreshing about Boxcutters is the focus on television media that includes other countries’ television programs. This is quite the contrast to the saturated market of “TV and Film” podcasts from an all American point of view. The problem found with Boxcutters is technical; there are several RSS feeds. We were not able to receive the most recent episodes when using the iTunes feed. As of this writing, we had to acquire the RSS field found on Boxcutter’s site.

Something Live

 

Category: Music


Something Live has a very interesting and unusual premise for the podcast. Host P.J. Shapiro records and mixes live music from The Cantab Lounge in Massachussetts. By recording, P.J. is archiving music that would be lost to history and provides exposure for bands that may never be discovered in mainstream music. The sound quality is well produced and a wonderful alternative to recording from a fixed microphone which would result in distortion, barrage of ambient noise and other complications. The result of P.J.’s recording via inputs into a mixer is music we can enjoy and is pleasant to listen to. We liked that Shapiro informs listeners about the song the band is playing in addition to explaining where listeners can find more information about the artists. P.J. includes interviews with musicians who frequently discuss the challenges of playing live. Music styles include Blues, Folk, Acoustic and more. The weakness found in Something Live is the heavy inconsistency and minuscule selection of episodes.

Angry and Cliff podcast

 

Category: Comedy

 

Angry and Cliff Podcast is hosted by Mr. Angry, Cliff, and guests such as Fat Jim and Ickle. While the guest hosts vary in their ability to blend with the main hosts, Mr. Angry and Cliff demonstrate an incredible ability to play off one another. The English based comedy is quick on whit, and the podcast has some of the best transitional segments we have heard. We liked the “This Day in History” segment and the excellent job of editing. All in all, this is a very funny show packed into 30 minute episodes.
