GenX Women are Sick of This Shit!

Megan Bennett and Lesley Meier started this podcast after their Facebook group of the same name turned into a mosh pit of menopausal women swapping stories about growing up in the '70s, '80s, and '90s. The show is a rambling, ADHD-fueled conversation where the two co-hosts use their Indianapolis upbringing as the backdrop for Gen X nostalgia and pop culture commentary. Episodes drop twice a month and typically run long enough for a proper trip down memory lane. The format leans heavily into listener participation. "Five Minutes of Fame" stories and "Dear GenX Women" letters come in from Facebook group members and get read on air with consent. One standout episode, "The Mall, an ADHD Fever Dream," captures the show's spirit perfectly. It's part of Latchkey Kids Media, LLC, which the hosts describe as a company where they "make things they like because they want to." That's about as Gen X a mission statement as you'll find. If you grew up as a latchkey kid with a house key on a shoelace around your neck, this show is going to hit different. Bennett and Meier aren't trying to be polished or professional. They're two friends who happen to have microphones, and the chemistry is genuine. The conversations wander the way real conversations do, and that's exactly the point.
