Description
New episode: Remembering Alan Hassenfeld + audio of 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner.
This episode includes a short introduction from Tim, and then audio of Alan Hassenfeld rom the 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner. The audio is not great but we thought it was worth sharing.
Alan Hassenfeld passed away in London on July 8, 2025, at the age of 76. He was CEO of Hasbro in 1989 after the death of his brother Stephen, and remained in the position until 2003.
Tim wrote a blog about Hassenfeld here:

The blog included a transcript of Alan Hassenfeld's remarks from the 2017 Hascon G.I. Joe legends dinner. I suggested to Tim that while the quality of audio is not great (recorded from where Tim was sitting in the audience) it would be worth sharing for posterity.
