this is the first (and definitely not last!) time you will see me being a nerd about pop culture! in this week’s episode, we’re gonna talk about the subtle/not-so-subtle ways nostalgia has been used in various pieces of media, the effect that it has, and why exactly it is so effective at gaining an audience’s attention. have fun listening ^__^

my way of reliving/heavily complaining about my experience throughout my schooling years! in this episode, i talk about the different types of schools and curriculums i've been in, how i feel about them, and my thoughts on school as a whole - while sharing some slightly concerning anecdotes from my childhood years.
