Xennial Files
Two best friends, Sam and Jon, talk about what it's like to be caught between 2 generations, growing up in the ‘80’s & '90s, the pioneering internet culture, being latchkey kids, discovering punk rock via MTV and commercial radio, the video game explosion, and whatever else we feel like bullshitting about. It's chocked full of immature humor and self deprecation, and not for the faint of heart. Give the first episode a listen! You can thank us later.
