Cruel Summer: What we’ve been up to
Welcome to Season 5 of GenX Stories! While as kids we used to have a "break" over the summer, GenXers don't really get that anymore at midlife. So what the hell did we actually DO on our podcast hiatus? You'd actually be surprised what we've been up to.
Go behind the scenes with us
While season 4 of the podcast was shorter than we planned, the Gen X stories gang is getting ready for season five. Usually we keep our goofy-ass brainstorms private, but we’d love you to listen in on this one.
Joyously Absurd: Adulting at midlife
After months of dealing with so much personal big stuff this season, the GenX Stories crew is finally together just in time to talk about it all. On this episode, we discuss accountability and integrity, when we actually started adulting and how we manage all the bumps along our midlife road.
You’ve got a friend: making BFF’s at midlife
Today we've got a GenX topic that effects us both deeply: making friends at midlife. Weird you say? Well you may be surprised to hear that after years of doing this podcast together, Lori and I had actually NEVER MET. At least not in person. All that changed earlier this spring and we’re going to spill all the tea. (well, most of it).
Work it, baby work it: GenX & jobs
Today on the podcast we're talking all about jobs. The ones we had as teens, our first “real” ones, and even the ones that taught us a thing or two about life (and ourselves).
I want my MTV
Today’s episode is all about being the “MTV generation”, the iconic music video cable channel launched the summer of 1981.

Today we’re taking on a topic that both Courtney and I have sadly experienced firsthand - losing a parent as a Gen Xer.

BONUS: Interview with GenX author/editor Gabi Lorino
Today we have a special little bonus for ya’ll - an interview with Gabi Lorino, a kick ass book editor and 100% pure GenXer.
Oh, the places we went: GenX & books
This week, the gang talks about books, books, and more books. The ones we loved reading as kids, the ones we shouldn't have read as kids, the books that shaped us how we grew up and what role books & reading plays now in our increasingly digital world.
Hi Ho, GenX Stories Here (Ah-hah-hah!)
The GenX Stories gang needed some laughs so we took on the Muppets & Sesame Street which caused a serious conversation. (because of course it did).
Everything old is new again
Welcome to Season 4 of GenX Stories! We finally got the gang together, and thought we'd kick off our new season talking about how everything old is new again
We are the champions (well, sorta)
The GenX Stories podcast just won a Best in Show W3 Award in the podcast category.
It’s a wrap (for season 3 that is)
As we wrap up season 3 of the podcast (OMG - really?) and look ahead to season 4, this episode is a love letter to our kick-ass and hysterical hosts
