Did you ever celebrate any major milestone of your childhood, on wheels?

Are you a skate or blade person?

If you ever rocked and rolled to Ace of Base as a disco ball lit up the room, you might be a Xennial who went to roller, or skating, rinks as a kid. And we are too.

Birthday parties, Friday night hangouts, and school field trips all revolved around these magical spaces of disco balls, arcade games, and questionable snack foods.

Join us as we journey back to the roller rinks of our childhoods, and even earlier.

First Millennials Pat McMahon First Millennials is a podcast about being Xennials and the struggles hosts Mick and Ali face. Xennials are a micro-generation of people between Generation X and Millennials, born in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood. These are our struggles. Explicit Generation BSC: A Baby-Sitters Club Podcast Kate Vlasek and Lauryn Hunter Kate Vlasek and Lauryn Hunter are two women in their mid-thirties who generally geek out about all things pop culture, particularly nostalgic pop culture. A spur-of-the-moment purchase of a random assortment of Baby-Sitters Club books on eBay sparked the excitement that would become Generation BSC. And what is Generation BSC? First, it’s a micro-generation Kate and Lauryn have identified with between Generation X and Millennials. This micro-generation has also been called the Oregon Trail Generation, Generation Catalano, the Star Wars Generation, Xennials, and Elder Millennials - essentially, for our purposes, those born between 1980 and 1985 who would have read Baby-Sitters Club books as they were being released in the late 80s and early 90s. (As an aside, we've come to realize since starting our journey with the Baby-Sitters Club, however, that Generation BSC really is anyone who has grown or is growing up with the BSC, but we're examining it from our perspective in particular.)
