Welcome back to the Bellingham Podcast! We're driving the DeLorean right back into the nostalgia-fueled fun with the second part of our Word of Note of Nostalgia. AJ and Chris pick back up from their first part of their DeLorean adventure, ready to continue exploring the curious realm of nostalgia and its ties to marketing, technology, and personal memories.
In this episode, join us for another nostalgic trip down memory lane as we reflect on our past experiences and delve deeper into the trends shaping marketing for our generations (Gen X for Chris, Gen Y for AJ). From timeless retro gadgets to the ongoing wave of film reboots, we'll continue unraveling how nostalgia influences our perceptions and choices; and how we reflect on it as fathers.
If you are tuning in from the past on your VR head set, or tune in to your virtual transistor radio, and let's continue our journey into the timeless allure of nostalgia on this engaging second part of our episode.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bellingham Podcast! We were late in this episode as AJ and Chris had to fire up the DeLorean on the ol’ Word of Note series to delve into the realm of nostalgia, exploring its intricate ties to marketing, technology, and personal memories.
Join us as we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reflecting on our own past experiences, and the trends we have started to see in marketing to our generations (Gen X for Chris, Gen Y for AJ). From retro gadgets to the reboots of films, we'll uncover how nostalgia shapes our perceptions and influences our choices in a rapidly evolving world. So grab your headphones, tune in on your transistor radio, and join us in this two part episode on the timeless allure of nostalgia.

Nostalgia augments comfort and security, and maintains psychological well-being when confronted with limited time horizons," according to a report from Frontiers in Psychology. NIH National Center for BioTechnology Information

* According to Nikki Roy, a therapist based in California, researchers are actually finding that the music we listen to as teenagers binds to our brains differently to anything we’re going to hear as adults in a phenomena known as ‘neural nostalgia.’ (NIH National Library of Medicine)
* 2016 article -Neural responses to nostalgia-evoking music modeled by elements of dynamic musical structure and individual differences in affective traits
Frederick S Barrett 1, Petr Janata 2
“ These findings illustrate one way in which the reward and emotion regulation networks of the brain are recruited during the experiencing of complex emotional experiences triggered by music. These findings also highlight the importance of considering individual differences”

Shipwreck - Seattle Times
Chris’ Analog Book Report - Three takeaways
“…the objective of automation is clear - it is to relieve body and mind of the burden of labor.”
Robert Hassan, Analog (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series) book
“For those companies that went remote in the pandemic, the debts accrued by their surrender to digital continue to mount: a debt of talent and creativity, of ideas, culture, and the interpersonal ties that make a companymuch more than the work it does.”
David Sax, The Future is Analog book
“The analog businesses succeeding today, despite digital competition, are those that have been able to really create and emphasize credibility.”
Arrigo Berni, The Revenge of Analog book

She has been in the service industry for 12+ years and making delicious espresso for 10. One of the first to graduate college and the first woman entrepreneur in her family. If you do not find her working on her next big move in business, she loves to go on walks with her two dogs or secretly curling up to the fire with a glass of wine devouring a box of pizza!

Chris and AJ are back after a much…MUCH longer than anticipated break.
The News |
Episode 217 [for the month of October] marks the fist episode for the show moving to its new schedule, both in podcast and on KMRE 102.3 FM, as a now monthly podcast. After 6 years of being weekly, yes Chris and AJ still gregariously enjoy each-other’s company on the mic, but unfortunately work-home-life balancing isn’t as nimble as it used to be for scheduling even 3 years ago. So to keep an actual sustainable production schedule, the Bellingham Podcast will be a monthly show from this episode moving forward.
Thank you, all of YOU! For all your continued support and listenership wherever you like to tune into us.

Visku - An Icelandic word for wisdom.
AJ’s Visku - for you!
Philosophy | The Mountain Doesn’t Care. It doesn’t care if we live, if we die. If we summit, or turn around. And in the end, when we are all long gone, it will out live us all. SO, learn from that. Find your grounding wherever you are with nature.
Finances| Stay within your means and perhaps evaluate the utility cost over time
* HODINKEE Radio Episode 4: Om Malik
Photography | Get your photos printed. Carry one in your wallet even (you might even be hip to do so, cool to be so retro?)
Food | Evaluate not just what you eat, but WHY you eat what you eat.
Chris’ Visku - it’s true!
Parking in a grocery store parking lot - backing in
Assuming other drivers will speed through the right lane and merge quickly ahead of you as two lanes become one. Visku gives us the ability to let them go ahead of you.
Files on your computer | back them up or they never existed.
