This week on the Locally Hated Podcast, we’re bridging the generational gap and comparing the wild, unsupervised days of our childhoods to the hyper-connected reality of Gen Z.

From the absolute lawlessness of AOL chatrooms and Omegle to the days of drinking from the water hose and fixing busted go-karts before the adults found out, we're laying it all on the table. We debate whether kids today are too sheltered, the reality of having a GPS tracker on your car, and how the uncensored early internet permanently shaped our generation.

Plus, we tackle modern issues like the rise of AI in the classroom, the loss of true problem-solving skills, and why "gentle parenting" doesn't always work at Raising Cane's.

Jessica, Brandon, Cherish, and the IT Lord himself tackle unpopular opinions that absolutely nobody asked for. From the great shrimp vs. crawfish war to why your local Facebook group is 40% misinformation, no topic is safe. They break down ranch as a personality trait, why "do your research" people have never done research, joint Facebook accounts as a red flag, gender reveal parties that burn down California, and why the same five people comment on everything. Plus — supporting local businesses, small town gossip culture, and why your blurry security camera footage isn't helping anyone. If the shoe fits, lace it up.

Cartels in Vernon Parish, "Because I Said So" debates, and the truth about the deer heart ritual. This week on Locally Hated, Jessica recaps a chaotic week that started with a press conference involving the Feds and the Gulf Cartel operating right here in town.

After surviving a nerve-wracking qualifying week for local elections and debating if "cancel culture" has gone too far, the crew—Jessica, Galen, Brandon, and Cherish—dives into a heated discussion on generational parenting. Are we raising a generation that's too soft, or was the "old school" way actually just trauma?

From participation trophies and switch-picking to Galen changing the locks on his own family, nothing is off-limits.

The News Lady sits down with Phillip Hunt, candidate for Councilman at Large, in the first episode of our new Civic Focus series: conversations with local political candidates and community leaders.

Love, life, and a room full of couples. Jessica sits down with Galen, Brandon, and Cherish for a candid Valentine’s Day conversation about doing life together.

Listen at your own risks! We have a room full of guests and will possibly get cancelled. Merry Christmas to everyone!
