Ep. 155. - Confessions of a Mascot - JMU Duke Dog

In this episode I interview Jack, a career professional sports-team mascot, on his experience embodying non-human anthropomorphic entities in vaguely ritualized public gatherings. We also discuss the etemology of mascots, the history of masks, role-playing, cartoons, and more. Everyone is familiar with online persona - here is a rare perspective of someone who actually gets into costume. For full episodes, bibliographies, and more consider supporting the show on Patreon.
