    Monster Cafe !!
    Love the show! You guys are fun to listen to and keep the show moving along at a great pace. If you’re looking for ideas, I would love to hear the complete history of monster Café that used to be at Universal Studios Orlando. I am hoping that it will be resurrected from the dead and placed over in the new epic universe, monsters area. Keep up the great work and look forward to hearing more and more about the new park when it’s getting ready to open.love the show!

    Blows my mind
    Covid has really ruined the show. The most recent show has Jim, a fully vaccinated person who is stated he has no plans of traveling to Universal in the near future, complaining that people can decide for themselves if they want to wear a mask on their vacation. He is shocked that the park wouldn’t require proof of vaccination. I LOVE Jim and all of his shows... but his logic is broken and he won’t get past this sticking point. No one is stopping him from doing what he wants, but he can’t stand people making up their own mind when they decide differently. Jim will admit that he isn’t the pinnacle of health due to his own habits and life choices, but when Universal changes the rules to follow new CDC guidelines we need to spend the first episode back in forever talking about how reckless Universal is being? I might check back in a year from now to see if things improve, but for now this is a show that doesn’t upload because “there isn’t news because the parks are closed” and when the parks finally reopen it just talks about how it is “too soon to reopen”.

    Fun Universal Podcast
    It's nice to have a podcast in my list for Universal. Feels like there are so many Disney centric ones that it's nice to find one that focuses on Universal. Rounds out my theme park podcast listening nicely.

    Great pod about universal studios

    Half of it is great....
    I'm a huge Jim Hill fan and a huge Disney fan, and I thought here's an opportunity to get to know more about Universal and the cool things they have done and are doing, especially in the theme parks. But I don't get that here. And after listening to enough episodes, I think I finally figured out why. On all of the other Jim Hill Network podcasts, Jim's co-host is an active expert in the area and is a strong and professional partner. That's just not the case here. Jim's doing a Disney Dish podcast complete with past, present, and future insights and info that's hard to get anywhere else. His co-host here is doing a dime-a-dozen fan podcast. (As I was writing this, I saw Wddirector's review just below the dialog box; I totally agree with their review, but I'm more wordy).

    Jim Hill is great, but...
    ...unfortunately, Dustin holds this podcast back. All of the cohosts on the Jim Hill Network have a great and easy-to-listen to rapport with Jim. Dustin, however, seems awkward and uneasy on the podcast. To top it off, he doesn’t seem like an expert with any inside knowledge, unlike Jim’s other co-hosts. I may be wrong, but you get the idea that you could plug almost anyone else on this show with Jim if they did enough internet research. No inside sources or information are necessary. Definitely the weakest show on the network.

    The intro was annoying

    Another Great Podcast
    I am addicted to Jim Bill’s take on entertainment! Great compliment to the Disney dish.

    Jim Hill Does Universal
    I’ll admit I enjoy ALL of Jim’s shows and that includes this show. Jim stories, insights and background info make for an entertaining deep dive into the theme park down the world from the house of mouse. Justin rounds out the show with his past experience working at Universal. Keep me coming guys!

    Get a better co-host
    Jim Hill is great and knowledgeable as always. Of all his podcasts, this one has the worst co-host. Dustin doesn’t add any special insight, frequently spends time on uninteresting anecdotes or get details of Universal’s history wrong. Dump him and get someone who is on Jim’s level.
