In this episode of "Death And," mortician and funeral director Victor M. Sweeney sits down with AJ Wolfe, author of Disney Adults: Exploring and Falling in Love with a Magical Subculture, to discuss the curious world of so-called "Disney adults." The conversation unpacks what it really means to be a Disney adult—whether it's simply a longing for childhood nostalgia, a healthy way to embrace magic and joy in everyday life, or something wholly different. AJ shares her own Disney fandom rooted in personal memories with her late father, reflecting on how these relationships shape our experiences and even how we process loss. Together, they explore broader themes of nostalgia, community, and the blurred lines between comfort and escapism. http://ajwolfe.com  http://instagram.com/ajwolfeofficial http://disneyfoodblog.com https://www.powells.com/book/disney-adults-exploring-falling-in-love-with-a-magical-subculture-9781668069219?srsltid=AfmBOopvvj-_H48I7gl08ms6c2bgCNK40vsmETfRr23AS3mnwDz1tWqk http://deathandpodcast.com http://youtube.com/@victormsweeney http://instagram.com/victor.m.sweeney http://tiktok.com/@victormsweeney http://x.com/victormsweeney http://simonandschuster.com/books/Now-Departing/Victor-M-Sweeney/9781668062111 Learn more about your ad choices.
