## Resource

Pre–Animal Kingdom, Disney World threw a bunch of real animals on an island and visitors floated over for a sleepy half-day experience. Years later, the island is closed, the infrastructure is rotting, and urban explorers have made countless island videos. Instead of parachuting onto the decaying island and making a video, PTR chose to do an audio podcast instead. It's a lot easier than evading Orlando police!
