  • So, it’s not just me!

    I thought I was an outsider. Turns out that I’m Gen X. I was initially wary because there’s a glut of posers preening to our generation but GenX Stories is legit! I truly enjoy the topics Gen X Stories discusses as they go beyond the typical tropes about Gen X and delve into who we are today.

  • Real talk

    I love a good conversation and these four Gen Xrs have a great flow. I just saw a headline about how nostalgia is good for mental well-being, especially if it helps you find ways to make modern life better. Y’all help me remember what authentic self means and how elements of our era shaped my childhood, teens, and 20s. I’m glad I still crave realness and compassion, skepticism and questions. Thanks for creating a great space.

    First time listener. The Movies episode was a really fun ride on the nostalgia train. Made me feel 16 again… without the acne. Show idea! Trace the origin and meaning of Kajagoogoo. I would, but I’m too shy.

    Eye to eye!
