November 15, 2018 Video Game Arcades
About This Episode
They were dark, noisy, and not usually very clean, but we still loved going to video game arcades. In this backtrack we talk about the experience of the arcade: from scrounging for quarters under seat cushions to how we chose which games to play. It's definitely something that had its day and will probably never be back but is still the source of many memories for GenX'ers.

November 08, 2018 Halloween, Fix-It Felix Jr., & Call of Cthulhu

About This Episode
You would never believe this but Jon is still talking about Wreck it Ralph 2! When we do get a word in edgewise, George gives us a surprising update on the #NOFILTER interactive game and Mo talks about the new video game based on Call of Cthulhu. We have other non-Wreck it Ralph discussions despite Jon, we promise!

November 01, 2018GenX Kids’ Books
I didn’t ask for much as a kid but the exception was when the Scholastic Book Fair was coming to my school! They had so many books that it was difficult to choose! Many of us developed our love for reading back then, so join us as we look back at some of the book experiences we had growing up in Generation X!

October 18, 2018 GenX Future Predictions
When Generation X dreamed about the future, we pictured either a technological paradise with flying cars, helpful robots, no illness and rocket ships or we pictured a wasteland brought on by some human action. Neither came true (luckily in the latter), but we're still a ways off from where we thought we would be by now. In this Backtrack we look at what we thought the future would hold and discuss some of the things we thought we would have and don't, and what we have that we never would have predicted.

October 04, 2018 Radio Shack
"Breaker, breaker 1-9, I just eyeballed a bear trap with a bunch of Evel Knievels about 10 miles past the coop. So if you don't want a bear bite back it down."

Huh?

That was just some CB talk in honor of this week's Backtrack Topic all about Radio Shack! Any GenX'er who was into anything electronic will have a story about visiting a Radio Shack. They were the place to go when you needed a hard to find part or when you wanted to speak with some knowledgeable people about CB radios,
