    Very informative
    Love the show and that you guys put out a lot of episodes as I drive a lot for work and I’m always running out of stuff to listen to. Love the variety in the show about all the different things you talk about and the listener questions. Can’t wait until you put out a tower topics hat as I need a new hat when going to Kings Island.

    The Best Kings Island Podcast
    There are many podcasts out there that talk about the amusement industry as a whole but this one is special because it is only about Kings Island. The stories are so interesting with the history and current events at the park. Every episode is well crafted, curated, and full of good and sometimes behind the scene information along with a productive conversation. Both hosts have such extensive knowledge and love for Kings Island and it really shows. I wish more parks had a dedicated podcast for their history and current events. The show is also interactive to where you can ask questions and they will answer, I had one of my burning Kings Island questions answered one time. I get so excited when I new episode comes out. If you love Kings Island I can not recommend this podcast any higher. With the high quality of this show I have also started listening to their other podcast.
