Episode 230: The Wonderful World of Dr. Marcelle Kosman

On this episode of Geek4, I'm joined by the delightfully magical Dr. Marcelle Kosman to discuss her newly discovered love of Walt Disney theme parks! Dr.  Kosman (pronouns she/her) is a public scholar and educator. She is the co-host of the amazing podcast Witch, Please, and teaches at the University of Alberta.  I knew this would be a fascinating conversation because Dr. Kosman is equal parts joyous enthusiasm and deeply thoughtful intellectual. We discuss how the Magic Kingdom assaults you into a state of wonder, transforming Dr. Kosman into a "wine drinking Disney mom." She describes the differences between Disney World and Land, introducing her 7 year-old daughter to the parks, and we discuss millennials, Gen X, Michael Jackson, "magic capitalism," and an assortment of things.

You can follow Marcelle’s archived tweets @kosman8r. Watch for the new iteration of Witch Please that looks beyond the Harry Potter universe And watch for Marcelle’s new podcast, Gender Playground, which talks about gender-affirming caregiving for kids, and launches in June.
