GenX Women are Sick of This Shit™!
GenX Women are Sick of This Shit is a nostalgic nod to the humans of GenX. Each episode, co-hosts Megan Bennett and Lesley Meier have a long, rambling, ADHD driven conversation about GenX history and pop culture using their own lives and experiences as the backdrop. The podcast is a creative project inspired by the Facebook group 'GenX Women are Sick of This Shit', created by Megan Bennett in 2023. "Five Minutes of Fame" stories and "Dear GenX Women" letters are sent in by listeners and members of the Facebook group and are shared with consent. The original Facebook group is a mosh pit of menopausal women talking about all things GenX culture and life in the 70s, 80s and 90s as well as being a GenXer today. GenX Women are Sick of This Shit is part of Latchkey Kids Media, LLC where we make things we like because we want to. Copyright 2024, Latchkey Kids Media, LLC

Episode 9: I'm not your Father, I'm your GenX Princess

In this episode Megan and Lesley go on a long ADHD laden journey discussing the personal and cultural significnace of Star Wars (1977) following the death of James Earl Jones on Sept. 9, 2024. They also play with their lightsabers. And Lesley makes her Force Face. Be sure to keep Megan away from the droids.

Oh yeah, and first they give you an update on the state of the Facebook group. Forgot that bit. If you wanna skip that start about 20 mins and 20 secs in. Did you have betamax or VHS? What about an 80s computer? Did you ever watch Hardware Wars? Inquiring minds want to know!
