I really appreciate the general goal of this podcast but ultimately felt like it was consistently contradictory. In one breath they’re celebrating how Gen Z is breaking out of many different societal molds but in the next breath they’re boxing them in and portraying them as “black or white”. For instance, the politics episode SO missed the mark! WHY was this all about conservative vs. liberal?! If we really believe that Gen Z is going to forge a new path for our country altogether it’s such irresponsible journalism to box them in to two categories like that!

Like previous generations, the Gen Z people in this series express many feelings most people have experienced at their age — like not fitting in, or being ostracized because they look different. And, like previous generations, they seem to think those feelings are unique to them. Those portions of these episodes leave me thinking, “Give them time. They’ll learn like most of the rest of us have.” BUT, what makes this series valuable is Gen Z’s social issue awareness and the level of commitment they have to addressing those issues. It gives me hope that if we can keep our democracy, the future will be truer to the ideals America’s Founders built this nation on. Now if Gen Z will only vote. . .

I subscribed because of the name and I’m fascinated by the differences between the generations and how they behave differently. I thought this would be educational. While the interviews with young people are fine, there’s little attention paid to how different generations would see the same topic. The first episode defined the generational concepts but it seems like that’s the end— now it’s just an interview show featuring appropriately aged people. I think it could be so much more rich if they included additional experts to provide insights as to how different generations see the same topics. I think that context would make the show so much more educational, entertaining and valuable.

As a dude who is knocking on the door of 50 years old, I thought it was going to be my birthright to complain about how cold it is in here and how things were better in my day. But this show about Gen Z challenges me to accept changes in our ever evolving culture. Hearing their voices and opinions gives this GenXer hope. It’s a fantastic, well written show.

It’s so refreshing to hear from the members of Gen Z in this well-produced and thoughtful show. Love this!!

Fascinating...like a modern twist on the 60’s, want to hear a lot lot more!

Awesome pod! Can't wait for more episodes diving into the first generation to be born with computers in their pockets. Check out their website too!
