They asked for feedback and I'll email them the feedback, but might as well give it here as well.
There was plenty to fix about the old show. It was often to rigid with the show structure and there was a level of disorganization and, poor audio, etc. from everyone calling in for different locations. But the old team brought the same level balance of insight, personal experience, love and cynicism to DLR than Pete and his gang bring to the WDW podcasts.
Pete is a better broadcaster than Tom, I generally enjoy Pete as a show host (I quit listening to Best and Worst shortly after he handed off the reins), but he just doesn't have the same level of experience and exposure to DLR, and the recorded format isn't able to meet the week-to-week news cycle of happens around the parks. And, honestly, topics like "WDW vs. DLR attractions" have been done to death on previous DIS podcasts (multiple times this year alone), blogs, etc.
Was it horrible? No. I'm sure they will tweak, I doubt Pete and gang feel the show is where they want it to be. I'll pop back and listen in a month or so to see how they adjust. But, right now, I think it is totally devoid of the insight that the old show brought and that Pete brings to WDW, there was nothing about the first show that was truly timely/topical; it's ... generic.
