September 05, 2019Lunch Boxes
Sadly, not all of us were able to participate in the joy of owning lunch boxes. Some were not able to show all their friends which TV shows they liked, which cartoons were the coolest, or use that awesome thermos. But at least two of the hosts of GenXGrownUp were part of that lucky group! Come join us as we talk about what made lunch boxes such a status symbol.

August 29, 2019Parsec, Good Boys, & Darq
While many of those other wimpy podcasts are doing re-broadcasts or “best of” episodes, GenXGrownUp is still providing new content every week! Take that, “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me!”

This week, Jon finds a way to beat us at 2-person video games remotely, George gets a $30,000 tech gadget, and Mo finds a cool new side scroller. All that plus more of our usual content and arguing!

August 22, 2019Remembering Pluto
In 1930, a ninth planet was added to the list of planets in our solar system. Then in 2006, it was removed and reclassified as a “dwarf planet.” For some of the folks who grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, this was sacrilege! Join us for this Backtrack as we have a heated discussion about Pluto and its place in our solar system.

“Here’s the story, of a lovely lady….” If you can finish the rest of that song then you want to listen to this week’s Backtrack. That’s because it’s all about TV theme songs! We each pick out some of our favorites from growing up in the ’70s and ’80s and talk about what made them so special to us.

July 25, 2019The Space Race
From the mid-1950s the Soviet Union and the United States were engaged in a race to be the first to conquer outer space. When President Kennedy challenged the country in 1962 to go to the moon and come back within the decade, it seemed like an impossible task: something that was science fiction. But the United States met the challenge and succeeded. This week we talk about how the space race affected us growing up Generation X.
