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

It's almost Thanksgiving in the U.S. and this episode is all about food! (Please don't forget BOTH of these women have ADHD.)
Listen to Lesley and Megan while they 'talk shit about shit'. (This episode starts around 13:30.) They deep dive into the "Foods of the Past" like T.V. Dinners, Micro Magic, Chef Boyardee and La Choy and keeping our bodies alive for one more day with fancy vitamins because of all the crap we ate.
There are some terrible impersonations, conversations about skirt twirling, patchouli and black light posters. We talk about They talk about the Grateful Dead way longer than they got to see them in real life and debate cruciferous vegetables.
