Poor Unfortunate Podcast: A Disney Podcast For Grown Ups
Poor Unfortunate Podcast is an award-winning Disney podcast for grown ups where Disney is what we do…it’s what we live for! Join hosts Conor Perkins and Caroline Aimetti for a heartfelt and hysterical journey through a cycle of four unique formats: the Rant/Rave, the Showdown, Tips and Tricks, and the infamous Wild Card episodes. We’re talking about the movies that make us sob, the songs that still slap, and the characters that we would fight (or fight for). With scalding hot takes, behind the scenes tales, and thoughtful conversations, Poor Unfortunate Podcast is the perfect blend of critical analysis and casual fun that will have you laughing, arguing back, and getting your fix of that grown up magic. New episodes every other Monday – beluga sevruga!
