Hi everyone.  We are back and refreshed after a week off for the Memorial Day Holiday.  This episode is all about the good old days and what nostalgia is all about.  This was sparked by TikTok sensation Whiteyy18 and the onslaught of 80s nostalgia that caused women of a certain age to fly their cougar flags for the last two weeks (and it shows no signs of slowing down).  Marc and Kristina talk about what nostalgia is, has it always been a thing, and whether it is dangerous.  We also give you a crash course in what's going on with this 21 year old Canadian man on TikTok so that by the time it makes it to your Facebook feeds you will be in the know. Thank you for supporting us each week and we would be grateful, if you like us, if you would share us with a friend.

In this episode we explore some theories for what happens after death.  This is not a discussion about ghosts or heaven, but simply a conversation about whether consciousness dies with the body or if it is instead able to somehow transcend death.  We discuss mediums, near death experience, and reincarnation using Leslie Kean's book Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates the afterlife and its companion Netflix Documentary called Surviving Death.  Please share us with a friend and follow us on social media (linktree below).  Thank you so much for coming to listen to us each week. https://linktr.ee/xtemporaneouspod Ted Talk on Gut Instinct: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faGUQ06fR1Y Link to Leslie Kean's Book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Death-Journalist-Investigates-Afterlife/dp/0553419617 (Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for an Afterlife, 2017) Division of Perceptual Studies web page: https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/ Surviving Death, 6 Part Documentary, Directed by Ricki Stern, 2021, Netflix Stephanie Pappas for Livescience: https://www.livescience.com/netflix-surviving-death.html --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marc-snediker/support

The "Clips Episode" is a time-honored tradition on network television. Whenever the writers felt particularly creatively bankrupt, they would air a Clips Episode. Justified by a flimsy Frame Story, the show mostly featured short vignettes from past episodes. Marc, our intrepid hero, is struck in the head by a baseball hat and descends into a deamlike state from which he remembers his glorious past as a podcaster.

In this episode we begin a multi episode arc about Death and Dying focusing here on what is death, personal experience with death and an exploration of the rituals that happen when people dispose of their dead.  As serious as it sounds, there are some very funny moments in this episode, including the death of a fly which freaks Kristina out.  We will be adding our sources tomorrow to the notes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/marc-snediker/support
