Back Row 410 – 412 | Nostalgia Effect

Oct 28, 2021
The Back Row Morning Show

Nostalgia is a powerful feeling. It has the power to transport you back in time, reliving exhilarating memories of our childhoods, feeling all the feelings that brought us so much joy in the past, spending hours re-walking the steps we took back then – all in the blink of an eye upon hearing a familiar word, catching a familiar scent, or seeing a teenager wearing the same thing I wore in high school like it’s a brand new trend. This week, Radio Matt & Mo are reliving the past, having a bit of fun bringing up old nonsense, and discussing why nostalgia is important.
