Listener Reviews

Eric’s journey to explore universal has been awesome and it’s amazing how quickly he went from curious to super fan. I love everything Jim Hill does, so this combo is truly epic!

I am so fortunate to have been listening to so very many JHM podcasts. This is a fine addition. I hadn’t gone to EPIC, but followed Eric Hersheys valuable advice and had the time of my life when I finally went in January 2026. I have been a follower of this podcast since its beginning. Try it! You’ ll like it!

Love the new park and love hearing all the news here!

I’ve been listening since episode one and I consider this podcast a great way to keep up on what’s going on at the parks between visits. I like the updates and history/stories. A segment I’d like to hear (apologies if the podcast has already covered this) would be a deep dive on the history of the holiday season at the parks. I’ve been to the holidays and Grinchmas and would like to hear how it all started. Another interesting topic would be covering the Orlando Informer event. Great podcast. Hoping for many more years to come.

A welcome dose of Universal in a sea of Disney podcasts! Hosts are knowledgeable and fun to listen to.

This is an excellent podcast regarding the Universal parks. If you like the Disney Dish with Jim Hill and Len Testa, you will love this one. Great job!

Many others don’t give near enough attention to Universal Orlando or Universal overall. This company is on the rise and Eric and Jim are all over it. Eric is an excellent addition, transitioning from curious to Megafan. Jim expands his role of storyteller to a park that has a lot of history to offer. Five stars!

Loving all the insights, news, and tips! Highly recommend.

I was so glad to have Universal back on Jim’s network that it didn’t even bother me that the co-host had never even been to Universal at the start of the show 🤣💚💖 Eric has won me over since then and has shown he is committed!

This episode was truly a masterpiece built on perfection . Eric’s somewhat ideal voice and Jim’s mind blowing information really gave life to this podcast where so many other podcasts lacked. Please continue this amazing team up to create more high quality podcasting for the masses. Great job!!!!

Great podcast. Love the Universal news.

Eric’s enthusiasm is infectious! This is a must listen for amusement park fans!

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!

Love the new relaunch and show with Eric! Good work guys

Go to for universal content.

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.

Love Jim hill and Dustin. They do a great job with the universal studios give them a listen

Thank you for getting rid of the annoying intro.

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

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!
