Summary
Oh, hello to all you Pining Poets, Longing Linguists, and Wistful Word Nerds. In this week’s episode, Nicole sits down with artist-researcher and psychotherapist Adrienne Sloan to discuss the word nostalgia. In searching for its meaning and origin, they go from dinosaurs and extinct sounds to perfume and a “contagious” wartime sickness. So, get your “animal brains” ready, listen closely for “whispers,” and remember: it’s okay to get a little homesick as we define... nostalgia.
