About this episode

David explores the charm and risks of nostalgia, its historical context, and its impact on well-being and marketing.

Host David dives into the charm and risks of nostalgia, tracing its history from 17th-century homesickness to Proust’s madeleine and today’s nostalgia-fueled culture. He weaves personal memories—Saved by the Bell, Blockbuster nights, ’80s and ’90s toys—and immigrant experiences of longing for home. The episode explains how nostalgia can both restore well-being and be exploited by marketers, and encourages listeners to reflect on their own attachments while seeking help if nostalgia becomes harmful.
