Reviews For CoasterRadio.com: The Original Theme Park Podcast

I’ve been listening to this podcast for 9 years. It has gone from a good, simple, and entertaining show to a world class podcast with exceptional content including interviews from top minds in the industry! All this while still maintaining their down - to - earth charm. Great interaction and pacing. For those of us who listen while driving, please note that this podcast gives good attention to balancing sound levels. You won’t have to play with the volume control when they interview guests or even when they’re just creating entertaining banter among themselves. I look forward to the show especially when driving long distances. I would skip and save up weeks and weeks to binge. I’m 66 yrs old and have been enjoying coasters and rides since I was 8. (Maybe their oldest listener?) My kids and grandkids also enjoy listening when they’re riding with me, (They always keep it kid friendly) and I’ve passed on my love of coasters to both generations.

The original and best theme park podcast. Entertaining and informative

Listened to this show for years and really enjoyed it. Lately it seems that politics have been sneaking into the show and the hosts have been talking about themselves way too much. Not the reliable escapism it used to be.

Been listening for about a year and a half now and can’t get enough! Such a great podcast about the theme park industry. Lots of great interviews and I’m really hoping I can make it to the meetup this summer! Keep up the good work fellas.

Fun hosts. Good topics. Great to listen to.

I listen while running and often have to stop because I’m laughing so hard. Great guys who produce a great show. Thanks gentlemen!

I think the emoji says enough. The podcast is great. Mike and E.B. actually know what they’re talking about and can keep it interesting.

This show is AMAZING! There is nothing bad about this podcast! I hope you never stop making these podcasts! I am 10 years old, and I love roller coasters! I don’t get to travel much, and this podcast takes me to every single park in the US. I live thirty minutes from Kings Island, and the more you talk about KI the more I love this podcast. Keep it coming Mike and E.B.!!!!!!! (P. S. If you need any thing related to KI I gladly help!)

I want to listen to every episode, but there’s way too much forced humor and fake laughter. The sidekick is especially annoying, always trying so hard to be funny. This could be such a great theme park podcast, but it is marred by bad stand up comedy.

This show is run by a fantastic community who care about the listeners. They truly speak to theme park fans across the globe.

It was better than cats. I’d listen again and again!

This podcast is super great to listen to, whether you're just sitting around, at the gym, at the library, at work, or on a long car drive, this podcast really does have it all! It was recommended to me by a friend over the summer and I haven't stopped listening to it since. It's very easy to access, especially on Alexa, and thoroughly entertaining if you enjoy the amusement industry. Keep it up, Mike and E.B.! EDIT: I got a job as a delivery driver, and I listen to this all the time on my runs. So informative, and I want to add this as well: I used to be a closet Coaster Enthusiast, and these guys really kind of helped me realize that there was an entire community built around the themed entertainment industry, and I can't be more thankful for that, as it really helped me to become myself and find more resources for my hobby. Mike and EB, thank you so so so much. Keep it up! -GuyMcGuy4

Mike and EB continue to keep it fresh week after week. As a listener since Season 1, it's been so amazing to see the podcast grow and become what it is today. I definitely recommend this podcast to anyone interest in theme parks; whether it be someone who casually visits a theme park once a year, or a coaster enthusiast.

Love all the info. Hate how they refer to enthusiasts as “coaster boys” all the time. Not all enthusiasts are “boys” or men. It doesn’t feel inclusive. I do enjoy the program other than that.

A great podcast for anyone who has visited 1 or 100 parks.

You’ve made my morning commute much more entertaining, cheers

Love all the insights and news that these guys bring to the theme and amusement park industry...keep up the good work and keep the great podcasts coming!

Can a rollercoaster podcast be not-miss year round in an industry that isn't year-round in most parts of the country? I'd say "yes" but instead I'd challenge you to subscribe and find our why "yes" is a no-brainer. Mike and EB present a fun, interactive, intelligent yet subtly-subversive take on the industry that will draw you in without hooking you up to a Scientology-like-machine. (Unless that's your thing Mr. Cruise or Mr. Travolta. But not Mr. Patrick-Harris - which will make sense when you listen.) But seriously - give it a listen. Then a second listen. Then a third. And I challenge you not to go all the way back 13 seasons to learn why it has endured and shows no signs of slowing down.

Newer listener, about one year, and I am hooked. Mike and EB have great chemistry together. They compliment each other without trying to over shine one another. Makes you wish you could jump in and be part of their conversation. Topics, quick hits, first drops, talking points are all true to the purpose of the podcast. Awesome content every week, look forward to every new episode. Great job guys!

Haha, I’m not sure how i started listening to this podcast but here I am, still listening faithfully to every episode three years later. The hosts, Mike and E.B. (Or is it Ebee?) personify the great American personality of the public broadcasting employee who insists on declaring himself “uncool” to make himself seem cool while attempting to glorify the most uncool and meaningless subjects about which one can discuss. The sincerity that Mike and E.B. perform their weekly pas de deux (coupled with their outstanding production value) seemingly seduced me into looking forward to listening to their pulp journalism and editorials regarding the amusement industry every week. I recommend the show to anyone with a heart and a willingness to spend an hour listening to a podcast at the end of which invariably leaves him or her wondering “what was that to which I just listened?” Keep up the great work guys. I love the show.

Love you guys! In a coaster world where men are the majority, I appreciate the fact that you don’t make your podcast a “guy’s” podcast. I love listening to you guys every week. It’s my way of keeping the excitement alive when I can’t get to the parks or on the off season. Keep up the good work!

Mike and EB are the best covering the entire industry and have an amazing relationship with their strong fan base. If you like to keep up with theme parks give it a listen now!

CoasterRadio is simply the best podcast for theme park news. Mike and EB are very entertaining. I LOL at least a few times per episode. Keep up the great work 👍🏼

Really keeps me going during the off-season and makes me really excited to get back to the parks. A must listen for both podcast and theme park junkies

I’ve been listening for 3 years during a so far 4 year coaster addiction, and I’ve enjoyed the 95% of the show that covers coasters. I hope you guys have a KI meetup sometime, and I’ll make the 3 hour drive to meet you two. Keep up the great work, gents! P.S. The 5% isn’t what I don’t enjoy, but the Trump comments. Omg, please keep that up. I feel like you two are my people if I’m guessing right

Mike and EB know what they're doing. They could talk about the phone book and I'd still listen. Great, informative interviews, hilarious banter. They've been doing this long enough to get great guests on the show. Keep up the good work!

Since I started listening to this podcast, I went from 1 to 0 girlfriends. That’s the wrong way the number’s supposed to go. I totally blame Mike and EB for this fault. Their gift guide does not have good anniversary presents.

I was introduced to this podcast by Dan the T-Shirt Guy and some other friends. I love love love this podcast. I only really have time to listen to this podcast on long car trips but it is one of the only things that’s keeps me going when I’m starting to get tired. Other drivers must think I’m crazy though because I’m laughing to myself, and not like a quick chuckle but really hard. I love Coaster Radio because it keeps me updated on theme park news, and not just Disney but regional parks too, and because it is so funny. I’ve listened with my parents before and they actually become interested in the theme park industry. It makes me believe that anyone can listen to this podcast and you’ll become a theme park enthusiast too. Thanks Mike and EB for the laughs in the car and making the drive easier. I hope to make it out to a meetup!

This is a pretty good podcast, they cover some interesting topics, but my problem is that they’re so pretentious and self-promoting. They start off with an over-the-top and annoying intro followed by about 5 minutes of talking about themselves in every single episode. Another problem is that it can be kind of boring. Because they release an episode every week, and there is no comedy, (which I respect) sometimes it feels kind of washed out.

One of the best produced podcasts out there. Mike and e.b. are great. this podcast has a great community around it as well.

Mike and EB present a fun podcast about all things going on in the amusement industry. I look forward to every episode!

This show is simply amazing! I am a huge fan of theme parks and especially Roller Coasters and I really love listening to this show. I look forward to it every week and in between new episodes I listen to the older ones. Thank you Mike and EB for all the work you put into this show!

Been listening since 2013 it’s funny and informative. I love that they get people from the parks and have us the listeners be apart of the show!

Then a weekly listener since 2014. It’s the only podcast I have to listen to as soon as it comes out. Not only are these guys the original theme park podcast, they are the best theme park podcast.

Always fun to listen to, and it’s a great community re aren’t annoying ads every 10 minutes like on some podcasts, the only “ads” that they do are for themselves and are normally at the end. If you like theme parks or roller coasters at all, definitely try it out, it will make you an enthusiast like me. :)

My favorite themepark podcast by far. Great all round coverage.

As an avid roller coaster enthusiast and amusement park junky this is a can't miss podcast. The content is always fresh and relevant, and done in a lighthearted way that makes it easy to listen to in the car, at work, etc. Hearing coaster radio's perspectives make me feel a little less like a roller coaster nerd knowing there are "normal" people who share my passion for this subject. Even old episodes are entertaining to check out after attractions have opened to see how things have shaken out after through the rumor mill and into a real life implementation of the ride. It is probably my most anticipated podcast out there currently.

I felt it was about time I left a review. If you are a casual serious or do your research coaster boy, this show is for you. Mike and EB are two of the most entertaining people on this planet and will give you an hour of laughter. For all of those on the fence about listening, I highly recommend you do and I personally believe that this podcast has got something for everyone!

This is a long running podcast geared toward the amusement industry as a whole, not just Orlando and Southern California. The Park Hopper segments are geared toward promoting smaller, non-corporate parks with their own unique charm. The podcast has evolved over the last 13 years, and all podcasts from episode #1-2005 are available. It will take months to binge through the entire catalog if you want to catch up!

This is my favorite theme park podcast. I love Mike and EB's spin on all the latest news in the theme park industry. This show is a hybrid of a new cast and a campy variety show.

One word. Fabulous, just fabulous. I love the use of characters to keep the podcast fresh. When your tired and want to relax, just sit down and enjoy the Coaster Radio ride.

Mike and EB consistently provide fun content about different theme parks around the country. It’s a nice alternative to all the Disney podcast out there.

Coaster Radio goes back to the earliest days of my podcast listing and it’s only gotten better with every passing year. My love of amusement parks brought me to the show, but Mike and EB’s banter has kept me listing for 12 years.

Well produced and very entertaining. Great amusement park podcast. Lots of theme park news, tips and reviews.

I'm new at listening to podcasts and this one is my favorite. Thank you to the two of you for getting me through the long drives, keeping me entertained and thoroughly informed.

The original and also still the best theme park podcast! Too bad I missed the early years of this great show!

Two people who enjoy their fandom, uncover parks you might not know but will love, and make us have fun listening. Funny characters, silly games, but also actual information and serious discussions on everything from Disney on out. I look forward to this one each week.

As an in denial coaster boy, I love Mike and EB's podcasts about theme parks and roller coasters. It's the perfect mix of news, comedy, and listener segments. There are also character segments and off topic segments. This is still the best theme park and roller coaster podcast.
