Nostalgia - Part I

In this episode we'll explore the origins of the word “nostalgia” and its connection to a strange “wasting disease” of Swiss mercenary soldiers in the 17th century. I will also talk about the positive effects of nostalgia and the feeling of impossibility that nostalgia induces. Music, of course, plays a central role in each case. This is part one of a double feature episode.
