The Gen X Experience is a journey through the generation that grew up analog and helped shape the digital world. Hosted by Eric Thompson, the podcast explores the people, events, culture and experiences that shaped Generation X—from our beginnings in the 1960s through the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and into the world we're navigating today. We'll revisit the music, movies, television, sports, technology, news and unforgettable moments we experienced together—from latchkey afternoons and Saturday morning cartoons to MTV, arcades, mixtapes, malls and the arrival of the internet. But The Gen X Experience isn't only about looking back. We'll also explore the issues facing Generation X today and the years ahead, including technology and AI, money and retirement, health, family, relationships, travel, purpose and what comes next. Through stories, commentary and conversations, The Gen X Experience celebrates where we've been, examines where we are and helps our generation navigate where we're going. Remember Yesterday. Navigate Tomorrow.
