  • So glad I tried this again

    I’m a consistent listener of Gen Why and i’m always trying to find more Jack Luna but when i first tried to listen to this I had a hard time getting into it. When Aaron reminded me about this show i decided to give it another try and it’s definitely worth it! I love getting a slightly different vibe from Aaron but still smart and funny and if i had a soul Jack would be my podcast soul mate. Try a couple of different episodes if needed.

  • Gets me Through

    Generation Why got me here, I stayed because of the great storytelling. Easy to listen to voices(IYKYK) and just altogether intrigue with the terror of being catastrophically lost and hoping to make it out.
