My Generation
from The People We Meet with Ty Bruner Hosted by Ty Bruner
Ty Bruner invites listeners on a nostalgic, unvarnished journey through Generation X — from sunlit Saturday mornings on big wheels and mixtapes that shaped young hearts, sunrises at sea, cinematic lessons in grit, and the dizzying shift from rotary phones to smartphones. With a storyteller’s eye, he threads humor, loss, and hard-earned wisdom into a narrative about loneliness turned connection, cinematic heroes that taught resilience, and the quiet stewardship Gen X now holds between older and younger worlds. This episode is a personal, reflective ride: intimate scenes, sharp images, and a steadying call to remember the bigger picture while showing up for the people and planet that matter.
