GEN X Provocations

Gen X is the last generation to really bridge the pre-tech revolution - living outside and inside it - here’s a chance to talk about what tech we would give back and why.

An intentional look at our ideas of success and failure - how do we perceive ourselves and whose standards are we applying?

A simple episode to start a discussion about the 27 Club and how communal grief makes us reflect - who would you bring back?

Who doesn’t get excited for a discussion about food? Well, this is the worst of it - discussing the terrible food ideas we were dishes up as kids.

With polyamory on the rise and so many gender and sexuality options now accepted, this is provocation for Gen X to discuss if they feel they missed the boat.

This episode is a reflection on the number of serial killers that were around in our Gen X childhoods…and why the numbers are down.

A fun episode to start a discussion - and a playlist - about the best disco tracks of the Gen X era!

Moments in our lives are defined by big events and this episode is about remembering their impact - how and why they stayed with us.

What are the social politics of fidelity? Would you stand by your partner if they publicly betrayed you… and how does the ego see it?

This isn’t an episode! It’s my introduction to the microcast - the reason I started this: to focus our time with others by introducing a topic to spark conversation and connection with each other - or even just with ourselves. These are short, simple - sometimes fun, sometimes more serious - provocations to get us thinking and talking. I was inspired to do this by a series of soirées I held - by watching what happened to a room of people if I introduced a topic and provoked people with a question. In each episode I talk briefly about the topic - share a personal thought or opinion on it - and then pose a question for discussion. It only takes 2.30-5 mins to listen - and then it’s over to you! If you enjoy these first topics, let me know by liking, subscribing and sharing - and if there’s an interest, I’ll add an episode every week. Thanks!
