Nostalgia Nuggets for 06/08/25

Nostalgia Nuggets is where I like to share a curated list of retro & nostalgia-themed articles, stories, and posts that I’ve come across in the little bit. It gives you a chance to escape the daily grind, and just sit back and pass the time reading about what we call the good old days. So with that in mind, here are some things I wanted to share with you.

Before I get to the links today, I first want to shout out our friend John Toma and the fact that his new book has just dropped. It’s called Nostalgia Nation: The Definitive Chronicle of Growing Up Gen X.

In Nostalgia Nation, John takes you on a fun-filled journeythrough the quirks, culture, and lessons that defined an era. From the art of crafting the perfect mixtape to the thrill of decoding secret pager messages, this book is packed with rad facts, deep dives into pop culture, and witty cultural commentary that will transport you right back to the good old days.

Visit his site for even more info and links to where you can pick up your own copy. I’ve already ordered mine and can’t wait for it to arrive!


And now, on to the links…
