Author and educator Helen Boyd, artist Dylan Scholinski, and broadcaster Jay Thurber host a podcast about culture, politics, and queer life in 21st-century America from a Gen X perspective. The show features heated discussions, personal reflections, irony, and meta-commentary, along with a weekly Gen X moment of zen. It aims to bridge generational gaps, offering younger listeners insight into queer history while resonating with Gen Xers through shared cultural references like Trapper Keepers, Zima, and MTV. Topics may include mature subjects such as sex and gender, with a listener discretion warning.
