Identity

In the last episode of this season, Steph and Marina embark on a journey to understand how our identity is shaped by nostalgia. We explore identity continuity by sharing personal memories and asking how nostalgia can shape it. After this one, we are away for Christmas, but we'll be thinking about next steps and creative development. If you have any ideas on how we can grow, please share them here in the comments or on Instagram at @product.of.our.time.podcast. Your thoughts may very well help shape what we develop in the future :) Thank you for listening!

Food

In this personal episode, Marina and Steph embark on a journey of food in the context of nostalgia. Food is a representation of our culture, on both a broader and a personal level, and we try to make sense of that by reminiscing about foods that have been important for us throughout our lives. The book Marina mentioned is Tayeb Salih's "Season of Migration to the North". Music: Fay Guiffo Art: Liza Hihlushka

Grief

For our seventh episode, we’ve chosen to discuss something we didn’t originally plan to talk about, but it kept coming up in our private discussions around the podcast. What is grief, and how does it relate to nostalgia? While grief is usually associated with a loss of a person, we also talk about mourning the loss of home, place and identity. We also mention mourning past relationships, be it romantic or platonic and how that leads to nostalgia and grief blending.  We hope we’ve done justice to this heavier topic, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

Bana-Bhuidseach│Witch

Marina and Steph delve into the memory of witches in Scotland. Steph shares her knowledge of the witch trials in Scotland, contextualising historical truths. This allows us to explore capitalisation of nostalgia, emotional truth versus historical fact, and how we can reclaim the memory of the subversive and the marginalised with respect.
