GenXican: The Podcast
GenXican: The Podcast
David Saldaña, Alexandra M. Landeros
A podcast by real life GenXicans @saldanation @undercovermexi (but you don't have to be one to listen.) We really do exist, despite the lack of meme representation, and we're here to disrupt the airwaves. Co-hosts Alexandra M. Landeros and David Saldaña first met in the early 2000s as part of The VORTEX theatre company in Austin, Texas.
GenXicans Debate: Taco vs. Burrito
There's a lot that GenXicans have in common, but are they on the same page on whether they prefer the taco vs. the burrito? What about corn vs. flour? Crispy vs. crunchy? What makes the perfect taco or burrito? Is it ok to eat either with utensils? Join David Saldaña and Alexandra Maria Landeros to get down to the bottom of this debate. (Trigger warning: we will be talking about egg logs.)
