Our Common Nostalgia - episode 002

This week, throw on your oldest, comfiest sweatshirt because we’re diving into nostalgia! From fashion to reboots and sequels to reconnecting with old friends, we’re exploring how our favorite past memories shape what we buy and the media we consume today. Plus, I’m challenging you to reach out to an old friend (but not that ex, okay?).
