Why Do We Keep Buying The Same Childhood Back? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why do we spend adulthood buying back pieces of our childhood? This week on Same Roots, Different Branches , Andrew and Logan dig into nostalgia—from old toys, video games, movies, and music to the things we wanted as kids but couldn't have until we had adult money. But nostalgia gets complicated when generations start overlapping. Logan grew up with access to decades of culture through YouTube, streaming, the internet, and older generations around him. So can you be nostalgic for something that
A Quick Update From Same Roots, Different Branches (opens the original)

No regular episode this week, but Andrew has a quick update about the show and our schedule going forward.

Andrew, Logan, and Dalton spent a couple of days camping at Shawnee Creek in the Missouri Ozarks. The original plans changed, the forecast looked brutal, the fire didn't exactly cooperate, fish were caught, sticks som
What Happened To The Third Place? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whatever Happened to the Third Place? Home is the first place. Work or school is the second. But what about the third place —the place you go simply because people are there? For previous generations, it might have been the mall, an arcade, a diner, a coffee shop, the basketball court, a church fellowship hall, or even somebody's garage. These were places where you didn't necessarily need an invitation, an appointment, or even much of a plan. You just showed up. But do those places still exist?
