Dr. Peter C. Kunze, an assistant professor of communication at Tulane University, joins host Brett Nachman to discuss his new book: Staging a Comeback: Broadway, Hollywood, and the Disney Renaissance. The title explores a compelling era for The Walt Disney Company, one that ultimately found the fluttering corporation transform into a bustling conglomerate, in large part due to its leaning into musicals. Pete discusses the book's development, rich content, and much more.
