GenXGrownUp Podcast episodes

April 18, 2019Memorable TV Events
One of the defining experiences of growing up a GenX’er was appointment TV. When breaking news hit, you watched it live as the newscasters struggled to get the facts. When important shows came on, you planned your time so you can watch it when it came on, and when major events occurred, you were glued to the set because you didn’t want to miss anything. Unfortunately, a lot of the important things we remember most are not the happiest memories but they will remain with us for the rest of our lives.

April 04, 2019Going to the Movies
The movie-going experience growing up GenX couldn’t be more different than the experience today. Waiting on long lines for hours, racing to get the good seats, only being able to get a soda, popcorn, and candy, and mostly relying on word of mouth and a few reviews to help you select what to see were the norm. In this Backtrack, we have a ton of fun talking about that experience, how the movies themselves have changed, and how they compare to today!

March 21, 2019Pizza Arcades
Video arcades did not suddenly spring up overnight. They started small, with a machine or two scattered here and there in pizza parlors, convenience stores, and gas stations. They grew into the full arcades and ultimately moved on to create places like Chuck E.Cheese’s and ShowBiz Pizza. In this episode, we talk about our experiences growing up and seeing this happen firsthand and how they are still evolving and around today!

March 07, 2019Payphones, Pagers, & Passing Notes
It’s hard to image that there was a time where you couldn’t get in contact with just about anybody, anywhere, anytime. In this week’s episode, we look at how our lives were different growing up as GenX’ers and how the way we communicated affected our lives. How did we survive? We did — pretty well actually.

March 03, 2019Infinity Con 2019 Live Stream Special Edition
GenXGrownUp visited Lake City, FL March 2-3 for Infinity Con 2019. After the first day we headed back to the hotel and hunkered around a microphone to share our experiences and impressions with a live online audience.

Originally airing live on YouTube and Facebook, this Special Edition release is a very lightly re-edited version of that live broadcast.

February 28, 2019Crackdown 3, Alita: Battle Angel, & Lockly
You may notice this podcast sounds a little different, and that’s because for the first time we recorded the show in the same room! We were all attending Pensacon (you can hear our thoughts about the convention here: http://genxgrownup.com/podcast-pensacon-2019-se) and sat down together in the Hilton Homewood board room with our gear and got to recording.

In this week’s episode, George invests in some audio equipment he hopes his wife doesn’t find out about, Jon plays a game that doesn’t let him down, and Mo talks about a really dull tech toy. Of course, we talk about a ton of other stuff too!

About GenXGrownUp Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Generation X. If you grew up in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, you know just how cool it was to be a kid back then. We had the greatest music, movies, games, technology, and…
