Literature’s most famous castaway, Robinson Crusoe, was washed up on a desert island - where he would remain for 28 years - on 30th September, 1659. By selecting this date, author Daniel Defoe ensured that his fictional protagonist’s fate pre-dated the real-life estrangement of Royal Navy man Alexander Selkirk, who was stranded some 46 years later: 14 years prior to Defoe writing his novel. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how his story pioneered not only the English novel, but

A tiny microstate nestled between Spain and Portugal, Couto Misto existed for centuries until its dissolution on 29th September, 1864. The final act of the Portuguese Restoration War, a treaty in Lisbon saw Spain claim the lion’s share of the land, while Portugal reclaimed its independence after 60 years of Spanish rule. The Misto people were something special. They didn’t fully identify as either Spanish or Portuguese, but rather Galician, speaking a dialect that wasn’t quite one or the other

Tron: Uprising was a sleek, smart, and visually groundbreaking series. It continued the Tron universe, delivering exactly what fans wanted. Unlike Disney's Tron: Legacy, this animated series put Tron back at the center of the story, pushing the limits of animation and storytelling. Yet, it remains largely forgotten. #Tron #TronUprising #TronLegacy #animation #storytelling See show notes: https://inlet.fm/nerdstalgic/episodes/68e4044b019636cd3d507204 Learn more

While schedules align, Dan presents a one-man crossover between us and Recovered by asking the question... do the Best Pictures of the 20th century need or warrant a remake? From Wings to American Beauty (at which point they're all so recent it's a hard no), Dan skims through 72 years of Oscars darlings to sum up potential remakes: which could be, which should be, which must not, which already have been, and some fancasts along the way. Do we need a 2020s take on Gone With the Wind? Marty

This week’s episode wasn’t exactly what Michael & Nate had planned. We were finally ready to unleash a spooky-season kickoff we first recorded back in Season 1—but after a year of delays, tech issues, and more do-overs than a haunted VHS tape, the episode just would not cooperate. At this point, we’re convinced it’s cursed. 👻So instead, host Michael Reagan thought it was the perfect time to turn the mic toward our listeners who might be thinking of starting a podcast themselves. After two

Pushing the boundaries of human flight to hitherto unknown extremes, Swiss aviator Yves Rossy entered the record books on 26th September, 2008, becoming the first person ever to cross the English channel using a jet-propelled wing strapped to his back, equipped with four kerosene-fueled turbine engines. To embark on his flight, Rossy first ascended to 2,500 feet over Calais in a support plane. From there, he tumbled out, and, after free-falling and stabilizing, jetpacked over the White Cliffs of

Zack Snyder's vision for the DCEU had the potential to rival Marvel's Cinematic Universe. With legendary heroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash, Warner Bros. was poised to create a powerful shared universe.However, after 15 films, the DCEU couldn't find its footing. It faced challenges like inconsistent tone, rushed plots, and poor decisions, from messy pseudo-origin stories to a troubled Justice League production. Could better choices have saved the DCEU, or was it destined to
