About this listen

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug - and music is the best carrier of that magic elixir directly into our brains.

While pretty much any song can be propped up as a totem of days past - sometimes songs feel specifically engineered to bring us back to a place and time.

While many songs that we’ve covered over the course of this podcast distill the feelings high school awkwardness and teenage angst; (I’m looking at you, Simple Plan and Jimmy Eat World) there’s no song that declares itself as loudly and proudly as a nostalgic teenage anthem like the certified grandaddy of them all - Wheatus’ anthemic ode to lovable Losers everywhere - 2000’s Teenage Dirtbag.
