Cape Verde's Incredible World Cup Story, Nostalgia, and the "Good Old Days"

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at Cape Verde’s remarkable World Cup success and how the tiny island nation has repeatedly defied the odds on the international stage. Then we explored why music is such a powerful trigger for nostalgia and what happens in our brains when a familiar song transports us back in time. Today’s unpopular opinion was: things were better in the "good old days." In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something that makes someone nostalgic.
