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...

Episode 3 - Sports! Let's Shoot a Touchdown!

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.
