Crying on Main Street Podcast Review

The Pitch:

Disney Goths talk Theme Parks.

The Product:

This Crying on Main Street review is going to be a lot like our Pod’s Burgers review. It’s a niche sub-genre I didn’t know existed, and a defunct podcast I didn’t know I needed. So I’m now working through a back catalogue knowing the end is nigh.

The podcast is hosted by theme park super-fans Andrea and Meagan, two unabashed goths who want to take you on an emotional rollercoaster through the past, present, and future of parks.

I’ll come clean. I have goth-like tendencies. Although goth-lite tendencies might be more accurate. I’ll take a stroll in a graveyard and listen to “spooky boy” punk rock — AKA music by English majors who like Nosferatu, can play a guitar, but can’t maintain a relationship.

You might also find me in a theme park, but I’m not there for the rides, I’m there for the theming…The anxiety caused by the extremely tame Dumbo ride has been previously discussed when covering Podcast: The Ride.

Before it’s untimely death, Crying on Main Street was pretty consistent, putting out several episodes per month covering different ride (mostly the Haunted Mansion) and holidays (mostly Hallowe’en).
