I broke my episodes into guest eps and storytimes. Storytimes are my reflections and an attempt to make sense of the nonsensical. In this episode, I am pulling apart my nonsensical GenX youth and how it impacted me.
The GenX experience...when we say nobody was really checking in on us for most of our young lives, we mean it. and it left us with a certain amount of scrappiness and freedom to become...what we would have become.... The GenX suburban experience is another thing entirely. Our parents were busy, so it was all about our friends. This episode is dedicated to the 2 girls who took me in, introduced me to Hip Hop, and essentially changed my trajectory.
