Nostalgia Trap is a podcast and video series created and hosted by David Parsons. It’s a project that’s concerned with American history, radical politics, pop culture, and apocalypse. This is not Ken Burns.

We feature regular conversations with historians, writers, adjunct professors, graduate students, and all sorts of folks from both inside and outside the university, offering perspectives and insights on history and current events that you can’t find anywhere else.

Nostalgia Trap has been featured in The Baffler, Jacobin, The Drift, and other progressive media outlets.

Our library of free episodes goes back to 2014, and our Patreon features a whole universe of bonus episodes, livestreams, the video history series TRAP-TV, and much more.
