Hello everyone! My name is Kexin Zhang and I am a sophomore student majored in Data Science. I’m the editor of this Podcast and I’m also the guest of this Podcast. Our podcast is about Disney, and I can be regarded as a big fan of Disney. I not only go to Disney but also watch Disney movies. My favorite Disney movie is Frozen, because I think the episode and theme song in frozen are so nice. Besides, I'm also a Marvel fan. Iron Man and Captain American are my favorite two characters, and I'm sure most people are too.
