Pete's interview with thedisneymoviereview.com

I've still got 30 minutes left to listen to, but I've loved it so far!!

The part about hiring people (while made me sad because I don't think there's a snowflakes chance in hell I'd ever be lucky enough to be someone "noticed" by Pete or John) was good, it gives us an idea about how the team came to be and maybe Pete will get less resumes clogging up his inbox! :-)
 

Interesting to hear that Pete and John were once a couple. I've only been listening this calendar year, and have only ever heard reference to a chap called Walt (although Pete did recently say "If I ever start dating again, I want a Brit", so I assume that he's single). I guess that's why in Dustin's farewell episode he said "the best thing ever about the dis is sitting right next to me" - he must have meant John.

This is a series of podcasts with "other Disney podcasts you should be listening to"- I hope Lou Mongello is on a future episode. His is the only other podcast that comes close to the awesomeness of The DisUnplugged.
 
Excellent interview that reviews the history of the DIS. Very moving during his discussions of Bob Varley............. Worth the listen as a primer on what the DIS was...........and is :)

Totally agree, and loved it - almost finished listening.

Actually, he was referring to Kathy Werling (@safetymom) who was sitting on his other side. He specifically said the best person he'd ever hired for the company. He and John are co-owners of the company.

Damn, I'm sad to hear that if it's true.

Listening to the interview now. I would love a discussion with Pete and Lou Mongello. Two diehard Disney fans with different philosophies and perspectives.
 
Ha! Tom and I had the exact same thought simultaneously. Beat me to the punch.
 
I enjoyed it although I thought the interviewer was a bit nervous. It felt like Pete was pretty relaxed and it was enjoyable. I'm not sure I heard anything new but the part about Bob was heartfelt. Thanks Pete
