Cate and Lori from the Untitled GenX Podcast join me to chat about how terrible the year 1988 was, how a person's reaction to Prince's death is a deciding factor on where you sit in the GenX meter, and how Ramones tee shirts have gotten some other generations in trouble for not knowing who they are! We also share an awkward moment when I reveal why I don't like  Tori Amos.  Check out their podcast The Untitled GenX Podcast Some of the awesome women artists we spoke about that really hit us in college in the 90's Lilith Fair (about) Lilith Fair concert  Sarah Mclachlan Indigo Girls Belly Ani Difranco Napolean (song about Tori Amos) Tracy Chapman Jewel

In this solo episode I give my thoughts on the Netflix documentary "The Last Blockbuster" and what video stores meant to me in the 90's and '00s. I also ponder how identity is so damn mainstream and dictated by AI.  I'd love to hear your feedback-contact me through my website GenXVoice.com Who Gives A Crap

Here's your second dose of a live conversation with my good Boomer pal Vicki from Pod vCon! This time we unpack some taboos around sex and confront some perverts who commented some gross shit during our livestream that we had to block. It's like two women can't sit down and talk about sex in a non sexual way without men thinking we are there to be harassed. We did have some amazing men defend our reactions and supported our chat with respect and grace, though! I think it's a good conversation, and hope you enjoy it too! Hit me up with your thoughts on our take on sex at GenX Voice.com or @genxvoice on Instagram! Follow GenX Voice Facebook page for updates on livestreams
