Nostalgiaholics

Last episode of the season. We discuss the holidays, and what triggers us or gets us nostalgic about the season of Santa.

In this episode, Keith and Oliv discuss the things about Thanksgiving that make them either "Nostalgic or Triggered". We learn Oliv dislikes pumpkin pie and won't even try anyone else's and doesn't care if he hurts their feelings, and Keith is the exact same way with Fruit and Nut stuffings. Happy T-Day Y'all!

In this episode, Keith and Oliv discuss their childhood gaming, which began with the wildly popular platform method of gaming, starting with the original Donkey Kong. We then go off on a tangent about our favorite platform games and how they've evolved. What games make you feel the most nostalgic? Let us know!

This is the dawn of the NEW Nostalgiaholics format: Nostalgia or Triggered. Each episode will be a less historically-based, informative form of podcasting and instead a more conversational, free-form production. Nostalgia or Triggered is a showdown of cohosts Keith and Oliv as they bring up nostalgic remnants from the topic at hand, and take turns expressing if it brings them a nice, warm mug of Nostalgia, or if it Triggers them into a frenzy of awful thoughts they bottled up a long time ago. Gotta love Nostalgia!

Keith and Oliv discuss the wildly popular "Cobra Kai", "High Score" on Netflix, gaming systems and characters, and more.

Ever get nostalgic for a job you once had? Maybe you worked in a bakery...or in sanitation. Whatever floats your boat. Keith and Oliv discuss all the jobs they had growing up in this episode of Nostalgiaholics.

Keith and Oliv share the same birthday, July 26th, what did you buy us? We discuss all the nostalgic aspects of a birthday as a child, what it means as an adult, the history of the birthday song and much more in this fun-filled episode that now has too many nose and back hairs.

Keith and Oliv discuss their favorite summertime memories, smells, tastes, films, music, vacations and more!

Keith and Oliv discuss all sorts of parent related nostalgia. From scripted sitcom moms and dads to the very real ones that influenced our childhood narratives, we pull apart all the important parts of being a good parent--and all the bad parts of being a bad one. So, let the cheeseball music tone set in, and let's have a heart to heart, Danny Tanner-style.

Keith and Oliv take an audio quiz journey through sitcoms of the past, discuss why sitcoms were so important to us and the nostalgic powers they possess, and talk about the evolution of the sitcom to match the growing trends in US popular culture.

A discussion of all things gross! We start off with the memorable, gross-out toys of our childhood, and move toward a general discussion of the concept of grossness and what draws people toward it or away from it.

Can you feel nostalgic about something you didn't particularly enjoy as a kid? For us that something was sports, but we still felt connected to it through a number of means and mediums. We debate how that might not be possible with sports icons today, because of the lack of these same means and mediums.

Keith and Olive get Nostalgic about their typical childhood Saturday morning in the 80's, eating cereal, watching cartoons and slingin' toy guns outside with their friends afterward. Those Saturday morning cartoon lineups were killer, weren't they? Why'd they disappear? It might seem clear, but in our research we found some really interesting, not so obvious implications as to why they fizzled out and your Saturdays now suck.
