This week join the full trio as we discuss the seemingly new form of nostalgia on television. Are efforts like Girl Meets World, Fuller House, and even The Muppets a new form of data-driven nostalgia, or just the same old thing dressed up for a new season? What are the origins of nostalgia? What exactly are we nostalgic for anyway? Tune in this week as Steve encourages Andrew’s love of spoken word jazz, as we attempt to get at some answers.
