There really is nothing like a good spirit to takes us to a different time and place. Mark brings in a bottle of Calvados and reminisces on his time in Normandy, the land of Calvados. Launching from the image of “catapulting nostalgia,” the guys explore the role and need of nostalgia to gain perspective and understanding of ourselves as a society and as individuals.

Join us as we explore the role nostalgia plays in our lives.

Listen here:

Tell us what you think, is nostalgia necessary? Does it distract from the present and the future? What are some things that take you back and give those good feels? Why do we have this drive to revisit the past? Let us know in the comments.
