  • Super entertaining, but…

    …what does it mean to be “hooskerdoo’ed”?? I’ve listened to this podcast a few times before but I must have missed this definition, and I can’t figure out the meaning by context! Anyway, it’s all lots of fun and very relatable.

  • The Podcast I am always Gen Jonesing for

    This podcast is like hanging out with good friends reminiscing.

    I am technically not Gen X (a few months too old) but Gen Jones (on the cusp of Boomers and X) but I am less than a year older than Caroline and share many of the same memories.

    But more important than shared memories is the shared sense of fun and love of pop culture. I didn’t just listen to Free to Be You and Me, I sang the songs and put on skits with my friends. I was a latch key kid and watched way too much tv and peo... more

  • Am I Laughing or Crying?

    I’ve been listening to these ladies on this podcast for over four years now and they never fail to make me laugh or cry, or a lot of the times BOTH (this week’s episode about Gen X smells had me in stitches 😂😂😂). It doesn’t matter if you’re not Gen X - I’m about 10 years younger than Carolyn, Kristin, and Michelle and it still feels so relatable, and you also will learn something new in the process. Love my hometown PCPS ❤️❤️.
