Nostalgia: Yearning For The Past | HINT It Wasn't Better!

What is the obsession people have for the past? In Episode #381 of 'Musings', only I discuss: the origin and definition of the word, my favourite time period to travel back to, why the present is better than any other time, the mini blissful periods of youth/travel and whether there are any cultures where people don't feel nostalgic. A huge thanks to Dave Jones, Cole McCormick, Whoneedsdollars & McIntosh for the support. Handsome bunch they are!
