I wasn't going to comment, but I saw this and I'm somewhat sorry to have to say: I completely agree. I got about 10 minutes into the most recent podcast and had to turn it off. The opinions weren't completely surprising, but the lack of education about the flag in question was rather striking. Which, I think it's important to note, was NEVER an American flag at all -- that was kind of the whole point of succession -- so how is it "controversial" to remove it from the American pavilion? I never saw any concern regarding "forgetting history" about the lack of British flags on display there.
Anyway, I've unsubscribed from both the Disney World and
Disneyland versions of the Dis Unplugged.
Don't misunderstand, this wasn't the only reason; more of a last straw sort of thing. I've just found myself enjoying the podcast less and less lately, after several years of regular listening. I won't go into a litany, because I'm fully aware my single opinion isn't worth a hill of beans, but there have been multiple times when I happened to have some knowledge of a non-Disney-related subject the podcast team was discussing and, while I fully defend their right to hold any personal opinion they wish for absolutely any reason at all, and actually really enjoy a lively debate, just happened to know they were wrong on some fairly basic facts. Having that knowledge just made it hard to think their discussion was interesting or edifying to listen to. It also sort of made me doubt/question the accuracy of other things they said where I had less direct experience and, like the poster above noted, generally took the fun out of my listening experience.
Please know, I'm under zero delusion they'll "miss" me as a viewer, and I'm fully aware the show will most definitely go on; I just won't be a listening when it does.
