The Self-Aware Millennial

J.Mix and Brian Lisco were only nine years old during September 11th attacks 20 years ago. On this episode, they recollect their childhood memories from that day and how it shaped their current views of the United States in 2021.

Note: Flight 93 was not mentioned in this episode, but we want to acknowledge the 40 passengers and crew members who fought back in the face of adversity. See "Resources" for more information.

Our biological clocks have no chill. So what is a millennial to do about having children if they’re not ready? Or they haven’t found the right partner? Or can barely afford to raise themselves; let alone a child?

These are just SOME of the uncomfortable questions we explore on this special two-part episode. This week, J.Mix is joined by Liv & Haley to dive into the vagina-owning perspective of the biological clock race to pregnancy (and everything that is EXPECTED to come along with that.) 

Topics discussed:
Family pressures to have children, The educator role in nurturing non-biological children, Donating eggs for money, Biological clock as a disabled person, Being a surrogate for someone else whilst in a committed relationship, Freezing eggs,  

If you enjoyed Liv's voice, you'll probably enjoy her band too!

The term "classical music" has Eurocentric and classist connotations. Calloway Cieslak has proposed a new name: "Writ Music" which seeks to centralize the music technology (notation) that is significant to the tradition of music and decentralize its whiteness and superiority complex. On this 50th episode, we are calling all the music nerds to join Calloway Cieslak and J.Mix on an exploration into the supremacy of whiteness that still festers in the writ music world.  

Some topics discussed:
Being shunned by other classical musicians for appreciating other genres, Affording to learn classical music, How classical music is not intrinsically European, How music theory is connected to white supremacy, Music theory not being universal, What makes a "well-rounded" musician, Cieslak and J.Mix's most uncomfortable music genre
