The Narrative Labyrinth: The Era of Nostalgia-Baiting

In this episode, Rachelle is joined by Andy @Andy3E, and Zoe @Zoe_On_The_Go as they talk about the power of Nostalgia and If you grew up in the 2000s, things like Mean Girls, Windows XP and Club Penguin might make you nostalgic. That is because all things from our childhood bring back fond memories. Nostalgia can be a great feeling, leaving one to be reminiscent of their past but is it worth the price we are paying? And is it really the best media we can make?
