Disney recently celebrated its 100th birthday, so we're exploring a
fandom that's kept the magic alive while also generating lots of
online hate: Disney Adults. To break the phenomenon down, Brittany
Luse chats with Rolling Stone senior writer and self-proclaimed
Disney Adult, E.J. Dickson. Their conversation looks at the rise of
Disney Adults, why they're so maligned and what the public may
misunderstand about these superfans.

Then, in honor of Trans Day of Remembrance, Brittany talks with
influential Black trans activist Raquel Willis. They get into her
new memoir, The Risk It Takes to Bloom, which looks at pivotal
moments in her organizing journey alongside the movement for Black
Lives and the rise of trans visibility in modern culture.
