Podcasts about Nostalgia

Shot of Nostalgia: Shuffle rolls on with your host Acefield Retro, and this week we revisit October 2, 2019, the night AEW Dynamite debuted live on TNT and officially stepped into national competition. We trace the road from the January 2019 press conference to the WarnerMedia deal, the Double or Nothing launch, and WWE moving NXT to USA in the same time slot. By the time Dynamite hits the air from Washington, D.C., this is not just a premiere. It is the opening shot of the Wednesday Night Wars. The show wastes no time establishing tone. Cody vs. Sammy Guevara opens with a 20 minute statement built on pacing and credibility. PAC submits Hangman Page in a result that reshapes the early hierarchy. Riho defeats Nyla Rose to become the first AEW Women's World Champion, signaling the company's international lean. In the main event, The Elite fall to Chris Jericho, Santana, and Ortiz before Jake Hager debuts and The Inner Circle forms to close the night. Dynamite wins the ratings battle with 1.409 million viewers and doubles NXT in the key 18 to 49 demographic. More importantly, it establishes identity. The founders do not stand tall. A heel faction does. The message is clear. Long term storytelling over short term celebration. With 2026 hindsight, we examine who from that night became pillars, who evolved, and how this debut became the blueprint for everything that followed.

How would you pay homage to the books who helped shaped you as a child? That's the topic of discussion for today's episode as author and illustrator Selina Alko stops by The DTALKS Podcast to discuss her latest book, "Otherwise Known as Judy The Great". We get into a discussion about childhood influences, different art styles used for the book, and lessons Selina hopes readers take away from her book. It's a great conversation you're really going to enjoy! Check it out!   About Selina Alko Selina Alko is an award-winning author and illustrator known for blending lyrical storytelling with vibrant mixed-media art. Raised in Vancouver by a Turkish Jewish father and Jewish mother, she grew up immersed in culture, creativity, and diverse perspectives that continue to shape her work. Selina has a degree in art history from University of British Columbia and a BFA in illustration from the School of Visual Arts. She has created more than twenty-five acclaimed children's books, with features in The New York Times, NPR, People, and Time Out New York Kids. A National Jewish Book Award winner, her titles have also been honored as Junior Library Guild Gold selections and Bank Street Best Books of the Year. She is the recipient of the Mills Tannenbaum Award for Excellence in Children's Literacy.   About 'Otherwise Known as Judy The Great' Judy Blume is known for fearlessly discussing topics that were once considered taboo. As a young girl, Judy was not encouraged to share her feelings, so instead she invented stories as a way to understand the world around her. Growing up Jewish, during and in the aftermath of WWII, dramatically shaped Judy's childhood. Her younger years were full of fear. Judy processed her conflicted emotions by making up stories where she could control the conflict as she worked through challenging life scenarios. These stories became the subjects of the books she later published for children, tweens, teens, and adults including Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, Freckle Juice, and the Fudge series. This inspiring collection of poems celebrates the childhood years of Judy Blume, one of the most beloved American writers of all time.   Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website!

Over the last year, I've been slowly untangling myself from my iPhone — removing the apps that distract me, reaching for books or magazines instead, and experimenting with what it feels like to make my device less interesting. Because the truth is, I want to be a more present person. Someone whose using idle moments wisely instead of mindlessly.  In this episode, I share all the details and the effect it's having on my life. Specifically: Why I stopped posting on Instagram The simple change that reduced my screen time almost immediately The "glittery apps" I removed (and why) The tension between needing technology and wanting space from it How I'm handling things like Google, email, and yes — even ChatGPT The tactile rituals I've replaced scrolling with (books, magazines, painting) A new daily noticing practice that's helping me retrain my attention So, if you've been feeling overstimulated, distracted, or just tired of your phone having such a strong pull on your nervous system — this might inspire your own experiment. Join Me over on This Season If you're not already subscribed to my Substack, I'm sharing monthly updates on this analog experiment — including what's working, what's hard, and what I'm learning along the way.

[REBROADCAST FROM March 7, 2025] In the new film "Eephus," a recreational baseball league in Massachusetts comes together to play one last game before their baseball diamond is razed to make room for a new school. Writer and director Carson Lund talks about the film, which was a nominee at this year's Independent Spirit Awards.

In this episode of The Game Deflators Podcast, hosts John and Ryan dive into a wide range of gaming news, retro games, and tabletop adventures. They kick things off with fresh additions to their collections, John's latest Dungeons & Dragons campaign plans, and gameplay impressions of Valkyrie Profile. Ryan also shares his ongoing journey through Dragon Quest—complete with a surprising fitness‑focused gaming routine. The discussion heats up as the duo breaks down Guilty Gear mechanics, the bizarre and controversial rumor linking Pokémon Go to Epstein Island, and the challenges facing High Guard as it struggles to maintain its player base. They reflect on the evolving landscape of modern video games, the importance of character selection in fighting games, and the powerful role of nostalgia in shaping gaming experiences. Later, John and Ryan explore the influence of Jeff Keighley on major game launches, the uncertain future of live‑service games, and the growing excitement around new God of War projects. They also discuss the evolution of Kena: Bridge of Spirits and recent trailer for Silent Hill. The episode wraps with a look at the Super Nintendo classic “We're Back!” and whether it's worth picking up for under $10 in today's retro market. 00:00 Introduction to the Game Deflators Podcast 02:24 Game Pickups and Dungeons & Dragons Adventures 06:11 Exploring Valkyrie Profile Gameplay 14:54 Ryan's Journey with Dragon Quest and Fitness Gaming 18:44 Guilty Gear Journey and Fighting Game Mechanics 29:28 Mastering Fighting Games: Footsies and Edge Guarding 32:18 Transitioning from Pokémon to Gaming News 34:50 The Rise and Fall of High Guard 42:58 Anticipating New Releases: God of War and Beyond 49:20 Exciting Announcements: Kena and Project Winless 01:03:31 Reflections on Game Quality 01:05:44 Inflation Deflation 01:11:20 Nostalgia and Movie Adaptations   Find us on TheGameDeflators.com Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators   The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

This week, we did something a little different — we built our own tier list website just so we could rank 80s sitcoms without fighting pop-ups and autoplay ads. Totally normal behavior.But here's the twist: we're not ranking them based on how “important” they were at the time. We're asking a much more dangerous question:Would we actually rewatch this in 2026?That framework leads to some very strong opinions.

Valentine's Day may be over, but the conversation about love is just getting started. In this episode, Scott and Candice step away from the parks and into the heart of Disney storytelling to explore why Disney love stories resonate across generations—and how they've evolved over time.From timeless classics to modern reimaginings, we dig into what makes a Disney love story stick: music, memory, shared struggle, and emotional depth. Along the way, we celebrate the stories that still move us, question the ones that feel dated, and reflect on how changing cultural values have reshaped the way Disney tells stories about love.This episode blends nostalgia, thoughtful critique, and a few laugh-out-loud moments as we ask a simple but meaningful question: What does real love look like in Disney stories—and in real life?________________________________________In This Episode:• Why Carl & Ellie (Up) remain one of Disney's most powerful love stories• The enduring appeal of Mickey & Minnie and why “co-equal partners” matter• How Disney uses music and visuals to emotionally anchor love stories• Nostalgia vs. earned emotional connection in classic Disney films• Why early Disney romances feel shallow through a modern lens• The “damsel in distress” trope—and why it doesn't age well• How Beauty and the Beast flips the script on entitlement and romance• Evolving love stories in films like The Princess and the Frog, Frozen, Moana, Brave, and Coco• When love stories take a backseat—and why that can be more powerful• How our perspective on Disney romances changes as adults• A thoughtful discussion on agency, consent, and emotional depth in storytelling________________________________________Favorite Films & Stories Discussed:• Up• Sleeping Beauty• Cinderella• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs• The Little Mermaid• Beauty and the Beast• The Princess and the Frog• Frozen• Moana• Brave• Coco• Toy Story• 101 Dalmatians________________________________________Join the ConversationWhat's your favorite Disney love story—and has it changed over time?We'd love to hear your thoughts:• Join the discussion on our socials• Drop into Discord• Or just hug someone you love (highly encouraged)You're part of our story too.

We're taking you back to where our show began, re-airing our very first recording, and reintroducing the two nerds behind the microphones: Alicea and Nathan, high school sweethearts who moved from the East Coast to the Seattle area and accidentally became Disney adults.We unpack the numbers that shape our point of view: 14 Disney trips since 2009, 127 nights in Disney stays, and 11 cruises—two of them Panama Canal crossings, one finishing as the world was closing down. You'll hear the earliest sparks that made Disney stick, from a drumline turning onto Main Street with the castle dead ahead to the Wonderful World of Disney and Mousercise on vinyl. Then we rapid-fire through our favorites with practical detail: why Haunted Mansion still haunts us, why Rise of the Resistance feels more like cinema than a queue, and how PeopleMover earns its “underrated” crown. We talk DVC stays at Riviera and Aulani, the intimacy of the Disney Wonder, Garden Grill breakfasts that feel personal, and the eternal Dole Whip vs. churro standoff.This is also a map for what came next. We share how we keep up with Disney news without parroting headlines, how we'll handle topics like Genie+ only after firsthand use, and why our goal is to deliver weekly, focused episodes that help you plan smarter trips without losing the joy. Expect honest takes, usable tips, and plenty of park and cruise wisdom gathered from real itineraries. Have a question or a hot take? We want your voice in the mix.Subscribe, share with a fellow Disney fan, and leave a quick review to help others find the show. Then tell us: which park wins your heart, and what's the one ride you'll never skip?----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Rogério Montanare, Evandro de Freitas e Bruno Carvalho batem um papo como a nostalgia é tão confortável, que pode ser encarada como uma mentira inventada. Ela nos abraça como uma lembrança quente de um tempo que parecia mais simples, mais feliz, mais verdadeiro. Mas, na prática, nostalgia é uma mentira bem contada, uma edição seletiva da memória, um “melhores momentos” da nossa própria vida. Nosso cérebro não grava o passado como ele realmente foi. Ele reconstrói. Ele corta as partes chatas, dolorosas ou confusas e destaca aquilo que nos fez sentir bem. Quando lembramos de um desenho antigo, de um videogame ou de uma sessão de cinema da infância, não lembramos das brigas com irmãos, do tédio das tardes vazias ou da dificuldade de entender certas coisas. Lembramos da sensação. Saber e reconhecer isso é libertador?Esse é mais um episódio do Estilo 99Vidas!- ALURA | Estude na Alura, a maior escola de tecnologia on-line do Brasil!

Episode 277Love is in the air… and so is pure 90s nostalgia.On this Valentine's Day episode of My Third Place Podcast, Gregg and I mix romance, retro rewinds, and music memories into one heartfelt pop culture conversation that moves from arcade fights to coming-of-age feelings.We open with reactions to past and present Super Bowl halftime shows, unpacking how performance eras shape our emotions and why certain songs instantly transport us back to a specific moment in life. Music isn't just background noise — it's memory, identity, and time travel all at once.We also shout out Shawn Stockman's new podcast and reflect on the legacy of Boyz II Men, exploring how love songs from the 90s still define what romance sounds like for an entire generation.Then we lean fully into Valentine's Day energy:

Happy Potluck Saturday (and Valentine's Day!) Heal Squad. Surprise!! Today we're popping Super Bowl halftime fantasies, Valentine's Day history, and of course a little candy time. We talk trolling for fun (not harm), why lightness is sometimes the smartest response to a loud world, and how a halftime show is really just a business play anyway… so you might as well add buttered popcorn dancers and commit to the insanity. We talk how Valentine's Day went from Roman ritual to Hallmark pressure cooker, and why doing kind things daily beats one performative day every February. Nostalgia marketing, candy loyalties, cupid skepticism, doilies that won't die, and the lasting trauma of elementary-school Valentines. Whatever you're doing (buying discount candy, dodging expectations, or auditioning as a dancing snack) remember to keep your perspective and follow the fun. Talk shawtly!

An American buffet leaves an impression on you. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. Maybe it was a Chinese Buffet with your high school friends. Maybe it was Ponderosa. Maybe it was a frozen yogurt flavor you've been chasing for decades. But what happens when you go back? In this 7 Minute Story, Aaron revisits a core memory from the 90s and begins to question something deeper: Can you trust nostalgia? Does memory tell the truth? Or does time change the taste of everything? This is a story about abundance, aging, perspective, and the strange moment when the past doesn't feel the way you remembered it. And the uncomfortable question that follows... Which version of the memory do you trust?

In this thriller author interview, Spywrite's Jeff Quest sits down with Ace Atkins to dive deep into his nostalgic Cold War spy novel Everybody Wants to Rule the World — a thrilling, 80s-set espionage adventure that blends suburban coming-of-age storytelling with high-stakes KGB intrigue. Support Spybrary on Patreon - help us keep the lights on at the Spybrary Safehouse Atkins shares how discovering Ian Fleming as a teenager transformed him into a lifelong spy fiction obsessive, eventually shaping his career as a bestselling author. The conversation explores the real-life espionage inspirations behind the novel, including infamous traitors Aldrich Ames, as well as the bizarre and often comedic true story of Soviet defector Vitaly Yurchenko. From suburban Atlanta in the mid-1980s to the paranoia of Reagan's Star Wars era, this episode captures the zeitgeist of a time when espionage dominated headlines — and imaginations. If you love Cold War spy fiction, 80s nostalgia, and tradecraft stranger than fiction, this episode is for you.
