There are so many shows a part of the DIS Unplugged Network now: DIS POP, Connecting with Walt, Universal Edition, Disneyland Edition, etc. Which one is your favorite? What was your favorite segment/episode?
 
I'd have to say that DisPop is my favorite at the moment, although I do find the earlier episodes with Ryno and Oliver in the studio to be the ones I enjoy the most.

As for favorite segment, I gotta go with any of the dining reviews from John and Kevin (And now Oliver over on Youtube).
 
Too hard to choose! I love the WDW show but then I also love connecting with Walt, the time and effort Michael puts into those shows is amazing.

I do really enjoy Kevin and John dining reviews.
 
I love Connecting with Walt - I love the history and the insights that Michael Brings and the back and forth between he and Craig

I also love the segments from the Walt Disney World edition when they get into a topic a bit deeper and have everyone offer their opinions - whether a review of something they did together like Villains Unleashed or a "hot" topic like tiered pricing or whatever

One segment I miss is the extra hour that Dustin would lead when they would do a bracket or something like that. I know in another thread @Teleclashter mentioned why they haven't been able to do them since Dustin left and it is totally understandable ... doesn't make me miss it less though :D
 


Connecting with Walt, hands down is my favorite because Michael is brilliant. Craig makes a good cohost too. When someone interrupts him on the Disneyland show, I am like, "shhhh Michael is speaking" like he is the Godfather of Disney or something.
I absolutely think they need him as a regular guest on the World show.
 
For me, it depends on what I am doing. If I am in the car, then listening to the Connecting with Walt podcasts have been excellent way to forget about traffic issues. If I am at the gym doing cardio, then any of the DIS Unplugged or DIS Pop videos are great. I have ventured into watching the other vlogs that the DIS team have produced and posted on YouTube. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. You can find something that entertains/educates/thrills you!
 


Also did want to I love that there e different tones and styles to all the shows. As much as I love Connecting with Walt I wouldn't want all the shows to be like that. Same with DISPop and I love the less structured nature of the Universal show - but I wouldn't want all the shows to be like that. I love the variety

Very good points!! I hadn't thought if that way and I agree 100%.
 
Well said, as usual, @TheMaxRebo !!!

And I totally agree. I personally still love the "classic" DIS WDW Tue. show, because WDW is my "home park" that I've been to the most. My fave part is when somebody (or everybody, even better!) gets into helpless giggles over something. I am guilty of not listening to the DL shows - even if I had more time, I got hooked on the video aspect, so I'm now somewhat of a "video snob" I guess. I have enjoyed what I have listened to though, and LOVE when they do video! Even though the Dreams shows usually talk about stuff that doesn't apply to me, as does DISPop, and so does the Universal Show (never been to US, maybe will never go), I still find them interesting, and love watching the members of The Team interact (and also make me laugh, as mentioned above), so continue to watch. I am sadly behind on my Connecting with Walt consumption, but I thoroughly enjoyed the series as far as I went, and even got people @ work to listen with me, they are that fascinating. I also LOVE Pete's solo shows, and Free Form Fridays, when those occur. And all the other content that has come out - vlogs, reviews, etc., etc. just continues to mount up my love and admiration for all the DIS is, and all The Team does!!!

Even when I don't agree, or something does not personally interest me, I am still totally grateful at the talent, hard work, and dedication they all put into it for us - and it's all FREE!!! It is a huge part of my world, and I don't see that changing anytime soon! :love:
 
That's a tough one. I like them all for different reasons but I think right now I actually like the vlogs the best. I love the Universal shows because Craig is so deadpan and Ryno and Oliver help with the silly factor. I can't miss the WDW show and like the new man in the parks segments. I love Connecting with Walt but I have to admit I'm a visual kind of gal so sometimes I loose track of what they are saying. I like the Dispop when Ryno has guests and they make crafts. The Dreams Unlimited are sort of hit and miss for me. I watch if it's something I'm interested in but didn't watch the group travel ones, cause ain't no way no how I'm ever travelling with a group. I don't listen to the Disneyland show cause like I said, I'm a visual gal.
 
Right now I am really enjoying DisPop. I like the episodes where they are out in a park following a specific theme (Haunted Mansion) or just chatting about pop culture. I'll admit the reviews episodes I have found myself fast forwarding through the plot section and then listening to the actual review so maybe the last 15 minutes of those.
 
Oh man based on seeing the other thread that I had no clue even exsisted because I ignore that poster I feel bad that I said something critical of DisPop. :(

Please know Ryno I love love love the podcast and only skip the plot section because I already watched most of the shows or movies. Now I want to go back and relisten to see what I may have missed.
 
I love everything the team is doing now, but my favorites have always been segments and shows that feature Teresa. I miss The Trip and I miss the old segments with Teresa and Kathy together.
 
While the main Tuesday show is my fave, there is so much to enjoy in each of the shows...and even the more informal content, for that matter. While there have been so many good episodes in the short time I've been listening (2013 is when I started), I'm going with something more recent. The Voodoo Sticky Pig Wings episode had me laughing from almost beginning to end, but it's also the episode I used to introduce DH to the shows and convince him to attend the MegaMeet.
 
The Tuesday show, because that show is the only one that includes the ladies (that I listen to - I have never listened to Dreams or DL) and they always add a little something extra!

I agree with a lot of posters here - I enjoy the segments where there is a discussion about a specific aspect of the parks e.g. a dining review, a party review etc. I also love Pete's solo shows and Free Form Fridays!
 
It really depends on my mood. I miss the trip a lot, lately I turn to DisPop more and more, but I enjoy all of them.
