The Untitled GenX Podcast

Lori Garcia and rotating friends revisit the TV, films, music, and music videos that every latchkey kid of the MTV Generation knows by heart. The Untitled GenX Podcast has been running since 2020 and even has an IMDb page, which tells you something about the show's ambition. Episodes zero in on specific cultural touchstones with impressive detail. A recent run covered The Golden Girls with guest Jessica Ashley, breaking down individual episodes like "Sick and Tired" rather than just doing a surface-level overview. Another installment dissected Skid Row's 1989 self-titled debut album, talking through the music videos and band dynamics. That specificity is what makes the show work. Instead of broad "remember the 80s?" conversations, Lori and her guests pick one thing and really sit with it. The podcast also has a companion blog on its website and a Patreon tier at $5/month that opens up exclusive episodes and an official sticker. Available on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart, it's easy to find wherever you listen. For Gen Xers who want to go deep on the specific albums, shows, and movies that defined the MTV era rather than just skimming the highlights, this podcast treats those cultural artifacts with the attention they deserve.
