In this episode, I am joined by Emilie Buckley to talk about research she has done on the use of nostalgia, and in particular the characters of Figment and Dreamfinder by Disney to engage with consumer and commoditize the fan experience. Video of this visit is available at https://youtu.be/G-X-99TVtMw. You can engage with Emilie on Blue Sky @helloemi. I hope you enjoy and thank you!
