How does fandom for Canadian sports transcend backgrounds and borders? Donnovan explores this question with a trio of guests, including the superfan himself, Nav Bhatia (3:35). They discuss his memoir, 'The Heart of a Superfan', which touches on the story of an immigrant who became the Raptors' biggest fan ever. Donnovan also chats with Anthony Wilson-Smith (17:18), President and Chief Executive Officer of Historica Canada, the national historical organization known for their iconic Heritage Minutes, as they get into the story of Norman Kwong, the first CFL player of Chinese heritage and four-time Grey Cup winner. Afterwards, Donnovan chats with Chandan Singh (33:56), whose family has operated a bridal store in Toronto for almost 40 years. They chat about the Leafs and the through lines of fandom from his father Kuki - who loves Rick Vaive - to the present day.
