Fueled by Nostalgia
by Matt, Adam & Taterz
The word "nostalgia" is defined as a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or a place with happy personal associations. Our podcast is three friends who move throughout the past and share their experiences, everything from a love of pop culture to food or just general life experiences. Also? It's pretty damn funny, too.
