Celebrating 7 Years of Dillo's Diz: Disney Nostalgia and Pop Culture Podcast


7 years ago today, we were able to recreate this photo.

Can you believe it? Seven years ago this month, we launched Dillo's Diz into the podcasting world. From that first chat through the The Great Movie Ride to our latest deep dive into Disney nostalgia, it’s been an incredible journey. Whether you’ve been with us from day one or just found us while scrolling through your favorite podcast app, we’re so grateful to have you as part of the #DillosDizCommunityCore.


Let’s take a trip down memory lane to celebrate this milestone, reminisce about our favorite moments, and look ahead to what’s next:


When thinking about starting the podcast, which was originally a part of The Improviser's Guide Podcast, we wanted to share our love for all things Disney and pop culture with others that could relate. Growing up with Walt Disney World as our vacation destination and having both been cast members, we thought we had just a few stories to share. If you have been with us since the beginning and remember some of our early episodes, be sure to comment below!


Over the years, we’ve had the chance to connect with so many incredible listeners, guests, and fellow creators. From Disney influencers to theme park experts and even a few surprise appearances by some of our childhood idols, the Dillo’s Diz podcast has grown into something we couldn’t have imagined. Your support—the tweets, the reviews, the emails, the friendships—has fueled our passion and kept us going through every episode.


How could we celebrate 7 years without mentioning some of our most iconic moments?

  • The "Forever MGM" and Cargo Shorts debates that still spark heated (but friendly) arguments.

  • Our "90s Nostalgia" episodes that transported us back to simpler times of VHS tapes and the MMC.

  • Meeting our own childhood idols, along with childhood idols of our kids.

  • And of course, our live streams, bonus episodes and Patreon exclusive content which is always full of tangents, laughter and attempts to get us to plan meetups.


While Disney has always been our anchor, we’ve loved exploring broader pop culture topics, from Star Wars to nostalgic TV shows and movies. This blend of content is who we are at our core and what we love talking about.


As we step into year 8, we’re excited about expanding the podcast in new ways. More stories, collaborations with other Disney and pop culture aficionados, and maybe even some in-person meet-ups. We’re also planning to expand our YouTube and social media channels.


From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you’re tuning in for Disney chats, our nostalgic trips down memory lane, or just to hear our sibling banter, we’re so glad you’re here. Here’s to 7 years of magic, memories, and many more to come. Don’t forget to share your favorite Dillo’s Diz moments with us on social media using #DillosDiz7Years.
