Confessions of a Gen-X Mind: Culture, Media Literacy, and Personal Growth
Confessions of a Gen-X Mind is a podcast about media, culture, identity, mental health, and personal growth told through the perspective of someone who grew up analog and now lives in the algorithm age.
Hosted by George Ten Eyck, the show blends personal storytelling with cultural commentary to explore how family systems, media narratives, religion, technology, and generational experience shape the way we understand ourselves and the world around us.
Episodes often examine topics like media literacy, inherited roles within families, neurodivergence, boundaries, worldview shifts, and the long process of seeing our lives more clearly as we move into adulthood and midlife.
Rather than offering quick fixes or motivational clichés, Confessions of a Gen-X Mind focuses on awareness, perspective, and integration. It is about recognizing patterns without bitterness, honoring what was good, accepting what never was, and building forward with clarity.
This is a podcast for thoughtful listeners navigating identity, relationships, cultural change, and the strange transition from an analog childhood into a digital world shaped by algorithms.
New episodes explore ongoing themes through personal reflection, media analysis, and generational perspective. The goal is simple: slow down, think clearly, and make sense of a complicated world.

Freestyle Friday, but Perry? YES! This run from the AFA Masters Austin was a definitive moment! Putting Perry’s obvious talent in the spotlight and style for miles! Think of 1989, then look at the originality and pure bike command. As impactful in that era as any other flatlander and *with bashgaurd eventually putting Bully through its paces. Certainly got RL Osborn's attention! Proving not every legend came from York or Huntington Beach. Mid-West Strong!

The coolest thing about that late 80s, early 90s freestyle scene is that what you started to see was the ranks of the pros falling and a little bit in fear of their future because the crop of amateurs coming up were so much better than the paid pros. And it was so obvious, and it was an amazing time to be a part of that sport because it was so cool to see nobody amateurs blowing away the pros at their skills and their originality and freestyle. So I don't know. Just something I thought about watching. Every week they have something else going on. It was just a moment where you started to see the tide turn. It started with the plywood hoods. As teenagers on Hodge Podge bicycles in York, Pennsylvania. Outriding the pros and leathers and going on tours and stuff. It was a pretty pretty fun thing to witness. And Perry and Bill Nitschke and all those Midwest guys really uh helped push that along and helped uh reinforce that fact that talent, athletic talent on a bicycle can come from anywhere. It's not just York or Huntington Beach or Southern California. It's it can come from anywhere. It's a hooray for the Midwest Freestylers.
