09/27/20 • 5 min

Welcome to the 'Being a Fan of Disney' podcast! My name is Cody Havard, and I am an associate professor of Sport Commerce at The University of Memphis. I am also a big fan of Disney, which led me to teach a class called 'Being a Fan of Disney' through our honors college at the university. This podcast includes discussion and episodes with the people that have been kind enough to share their stories with the students in the classes. Episodes will be added as more interviews, visits, and discussions occur. So, please join us on our adventure and I hope you enjoy!

You can keep up with the class, podcast, and interviews/virtual visits by following my on Twitter @chavardphd. You can also follow the class on Facebook by joining the public group @Being a Fan of Disney. Thank you for listening!
