Return of the Oz

What do the Wizard of Oz, 9/11 and Ringo Starr all have in common? I’ll give ya three guesses… Go ahead, I can wait... Besides all being subjects on this week’s episode, they are all topics of great controversy, and that’s why we had to bring back Celina Flores to try and break these down with us.

But of course, these ideas are not self contained… We trailed into many subjects topics, everything from the Coreys and some of their less notable works to the musings of a certain famous 20th century poet who turn out to be more influential than he could have dreamed.

About the Podcast

The Nostalgia Pit
FKA: Ruining Your Childhood - The Pitfalls of Nostalgia
The Nostalgia Pit is a podcast aiming to dissect pop culture, the subconscious, and other psychological phenomena through a hyperbolic and prismatic lens. Hosted by Rob Snow and Colin Casserd, the Nostalgia Pit is available anywhere you find your podcasts.

Nostalgia is so often thought of as something great from our childhood... But this psychological pitfall can sometimes have massive effects on our decision making. Our goal here is to discuss these areas where morals and ethics blur and the warm feelings of childhood take over. Oh, and to talk some shit...

Produced by Colin Casserd
