Utah man’s love of PEZ dispensers leads to podcast

Ogden • Justin D. Hansen ends each podcast with the same sage advice for his listeners: “Go out and dispense some good today.”

It's a particularly fitting admonition given that the topic of the weekly show is PEZ dispensers, those handheld spring-loaded candy dispensers topped with the heads of cartoon characters and other cultural icons.

The Ogden man, who co-hosts "The PEZ Collection Podcast" with fellow collector Andrea Gage of Dos Palos, California, collects all things PEZ-related. He's got everything from vintage 1950s-era PEZ dispensers to the very latest styles. He's amassed boxes of the tiny brick-shaped candies that the dispensers eject.
