GenX Stories

GenX Stories takes the whole lost generation label and turns it into something worth examining. Hosts Eve Simon, Chris Goumas, Lori Luna, and Courtney Spikes sit down every other Wednesday to talk about what it actually means to be Gen X at midlife - the good parts, the weird parts, and the stuff nobody warned them about. The show has a perfect 5.0-star rating from 44 reviewers on Apple Podcasts, which tells you something about how connected listeners feel to these conversations. With 135 episodes in the catalog, the four hosts have covered serious ground. They go from dissecting their generation’s complicated relationship with Stranger Things to debating whether Gen Xers are secret hoarders, then pivot to frank discussions about the sex education they never received growing up. What sets this apart from other Gen X shows is the personal storytelling angle. This is not a trivia show or a nostalgia playlist - it is four people genuinely reflecting on how their shared generational experiences shaped who they became. Episodes run about 40 to 75 minutes, long enough to actually go somewhere meaningful. The group dynamic works because each host brings a slightly different perspective, and they are not afraid to get vulnerable or push back on each other. If you have ever found yourself wondering how other Gen Xers are navigating this particular stretch of life, this podcast makes you feel less alone in figuring it all out.
