Summary

This week on the podcast, Mr. Miller reports live from the most magical place on Earth — and no, he’s not entirely sure how he got there. Join us as we unpack his family’s whirlwind trip to Disney World, including stops at EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and the infamous international pub crawl — all while trying to make sense of what Disney has become in the 21st century. Spoiler: this is not your granddaddy’s Disney. Between the fireworks and the funnel cakes, there’s plenty of room for reflection — on nostalgia, consumerism, and whether the collapse of Western culture might just be happening somewhere between the Norway Pavilion and Space Mountain. It’s a strange, hilarious, and occasionally profound look at America’s favorite theme park — and the culture that built it. Let’s get into it.
