Episode 43: The Nostalgia Awakens, Returns, and Rises (w/ Eric Morgan, Chuck Rybak, & Ryan Martin)

Earlier this year, the Oshkosh Public Museum played host to “The Nostalgia Awakens”, a traveling exhibit that holds the distinction of being the largest public display of the original Star Wars action figures and toys ever in Wisconsin. Such a momentous occasion merits an equally momentous podcast – one that cannot be contained in a single show alone! So this week, Serious Fun crosses over with fellow Phoenix Studios network shows Canonball and Voyageur to talk about the Star Wars franchise and its merchandise, but also the broader concept of nostalgia, memory, and why we long for the characters and fun of our youth. It’s a fun, sassy conversation about a topic near and dear to many of our hearts, so go on and listen already!
