81. 📚Nostalgia 101: Nostalgia & Shared Experiences w/ Georg Csarmann

The Nostalgia Test Podcast

In the first 📚Nostalgia 101 episode, Dan & Manny invite Georg Csarmann to do a deep dive into the complexities of nostalgia, how it works to create community, the ways we experience nostalgia through different pieces of media, and how the term was coined. It's time to go to school!

Georg Csarmann Bio:
Narratives and the contextualization of information are at the heart of Georg's life purpose, either through storytelling or content curation. Based on his experience as a filmmaker, writer, media academic and film programmer, he wants to cut through the noise of media overabundance and create a meaningful way for other people to experience films & TV."
