    The game
    I listen to podcast and I cannot understand what’s going on whenever you guys aren’t explaining what’s going on.

    Designed for video, not a podcast
    I like the content and the hosts, and Universal’s embracing podcasts as a way to share details about what’s going on at the parks. However, the hosts often do visual gags, talk about things without describing them, and play “games” like Pictionary at the end of the episode that are not well suited to an audio-only format. I know there is a video version, but I wish they would consciously think more about how their content will work as a podcast.

    Loving it!!
    Loving the behind-the-curtain details on Universal, and all of the hosts are amazing! I’m looking forward to future episodes, especially on anything related to Epic Universe!!

    Rockstar Hosts
    Loving season 2 so far! Cassie and Dylan are so fun to listen to. The show has made me so excited for HHN this year and I can’t wait to hear more about Epic Universe!
  • Gaby🤍M

    Discover Universal is the BEST
    Informational, funny, close to culture and knows its audience perfectly - Discover Universal keeps getting better and better. I look forward to tuning in every week to get my Universal Orlando news, whether it be on something new like EPIC Universe or a cult classic like Halloween Horror Nights.

  • AidanMcGinn
    Great show love the parks.
    I’ll be honest I like the old hosts a lot more.
  • pearl fan211
    Pretty good😏
    I love this podcast it’s really helpful for when my family goes to your parks (which doesn’t happen nearly as often as it should) and while it does feel like you guys are showing a bit of fake enthusiasm I understand it’s just your job and you have to how about trying listing some cons (if there are any) about your attractions so you can give an equal POV

    Rating and Episode Request
    This show is a fantabulous and entertaining show but I have one episode request for a “Guide to The Simpsons Ride” or “Guide to Minions Villain-Con Attraction”
  • Staggloon
    Can't supprt this anymore
    Can’t support Universal pushing out their dedicated fanbase of independent creators in favor of their own late to the game product. Very petty.
  • Ashleybea23
    Love this!
    Getting ready to bring my bridal party to HHN & would love more info on the opening ceremonies! What time to get there to see it etc !
  • DavidKribirck
    Ugh
    A series created just to bury independent shows is not a good foundation, as this series demonstrates.
  • Gore444
    The Hosts are a little much
    Too much corporate “sheen” and fake excitement from the main hosts. Instead of being personable, it makes the hosts sound less than genuine. Their acting like the HHN houses were surprises when three of them had been announced months/weeks prior was the pinnacle of fake excitement and makes the whole thing sound hokey.
  • RachelFire
    Love this podcast!
    I love this podcast!!! David and Carrie are the best hosts! I love their energy and positivity! Great info always!
  • AshCapsho
    Great podcast!
    What a delightful listen! Kari and David's expert tips and insider insights make it a valuable resource for anyone planning a vacation to these parks. The stories behind the attractions and the sneak peeks of exclusive experiences add an extra layer of excitement. Definitely worth tuning in if you're a theme park enthusiast!
  • Duncan36
    Great podcast!!
    Great podcast and have enjoyed the tips and backstory of events and attractions. Could you do a show on all the live entertainment at studios and Islands of Adventure. Ex Blues Brothers,Sing it, Frog Choir
  • Team Minecraft
    Perfect!
    I love this podcast and it really helps me get ready to go to my favorite theme park, I would recommend for any Universal fan!
  • SuperDuke521
    Amazing
    Kari and David are amazing! I need to meet them!!! They are funny, give awesome details of everything that is Universal!
  • Cpalmer324
    You need to listen before your next Universal trip.
    I love everything about this show: the format, the hosts, the guests… everything. And better yet, it’s helpful! It’s my favorite show to listen to learn more about Universal and help me prep for my next park visit.
  • Tricia Helwig
    Being the Grinch back annually!
    I love the up beat feel of this podcast. Really enjoy the interviews. Great information. Please, please, PLEASE bring the Grinch back every December. That was a laugh out loud episode.

    Magical, Incredible, and Amazing Entertainment
    I love this podcast! I found it on an interview on the Coasterradio.com, and am currently binge watching the season. This podcast is so funny, factual, and flat out fabulous. For real. I’d love an episode on epic universe, because it interests me. An American park on this level hasn’t been built ground up in my life. If you can’t do that, an episode ranking all the coasters at universal would be just as great! Keep up the good work! ⚠️CHALLENGE⚠️: leave a five star review and note on the Coasterradio.com podcast

    Trash
    I hated it, it was to boring and repetitive
  • Huntsman1230
    Good official podcast
    Regarding the bad reviews about this being too “corporate” or “fake” I’d say you should strongly disregard those. Yes, this is an Official show so it’s going to be a bit more buttoned-up in terms of topics and “opinions”, but it also acts as a great source of official news from Universal’s perspective directly; it definitely will get you excited and ready for an upcoming universal vacation - exactly the point of the show. Aside from that, the higher-up employee interviews from different areas of universal are great and you can’t get them anywhere else. There are plenty of other unofficial pods but this one absolutely fills an important role that the others lack. Add it to your podcast rotation.

    Love it!!
    So fun! The hosts are great. I get excited every time there’s a new episode.

  • Micha2131
    Always entertaining
    This is so helpful to plan my vacation! Love listening with my husband.
  • silblessing
    So Fun
    Highly recommended if you are planning a vacation to Universal Orlando, Florida and want to get all the details that Universal offers. From staying at their resorts to experiencing their restaurants and of course discovering their parks, it’s so exciting listening to every episode, as makes me want to go back every time a new episode comes out. Thank for a wonderful Podcast!
  • TheRussoSisters
    SUCH a fun podcast!
    I love Universal! This podcast is such a good balance between planning and unique fun facts. The chemistry between the hosts makes me feel like I’m hanging out with them and I learn something new in each episode that goes live! I can’t wait for what’s to come!
  • The Page Master
    This is so fun
    I and my wife went to Universal studios back in November for our anniversary and we rode Volocicoaster and it was a blast best ride in the park. This podcast brings back a lot of fun memories thank you it’s a blast.
  • Allen Huffman
    Slick and professional PR for the resort.
    I have been enjoying learning about areas of the resort I have never paid attention to. It sounds more like a morning radio show than the typical fan podcasts.
  • RishardJ
    Very corporate
    I wanted to love this being a universal annual pass holder and local. I listen to a lot of universal podcasts and was hoping this would be another great one but it’s too corporate. It sounds fake. Hopefully they change it a bit.
  • Jeff Royds
    Nope.
    Sounds way to Disney or WalMart Radio for my liking. Disappointing.
  • OGHomeschoolFam
    Get Excited for Your Trip
    The hosts do a great job of giving you tips and get you excited about planning your trip to the parks. We are looking forward to our 2nd trip in May and this podcast is already giving us some fun things to talk about and plan for.
  • bdig33
    Great show
    Super helpful for enjoying the universal parks!
  • ORLocal
    Great podcast for planning and fans alike!
    This is an entertaining podcast that walks you through the best Universal has to offer, whether your planning your first trip or a local who’s been to the parks a hundred times there’s something here for you!
  • bigrigsby
    OMG so loud and annoying
    I was super excited for a new Universal podcast! Then it started and the whole thing was so loud and aggressive. The hosts were channeling their inner morning radio host and it was truly awful.
  • Rocket man 321
    So far so good!
    Loving having an official podcast! And really enjoying the dynamic of the hosts! (Also don’t forget to check out the Ride Guys on YouTube!)
