GenXperiment Podcast
GenXperiment is a podcast for people who came of age believing in institutions, worked hard inside them, and now find themselves quietly asking, “Wait… when did everything get so fragile?”
Hosted by a Gen X woman sharing perspectives from lived experience, the show cuts through the noise on life, culture, work, and what we still lazily call “politics” — even when it’s really about power, empathy, and human decency.
Conversations wander (intentionally) through generational divides, aging parents, sibling dynamics, modern relationships, work burnout, money anxiety, and the uneasy feeling that the ground has shifted beneath us — personally and collectively.
This isn’t hot takes or outrage theater. It’s thoughtful, sometimes wry, often candid conversation for people who want to make sense of what’s happening without losing their sense of humor — or their humanity.
Real talk. Zero spin. Occasional irony. Come think out loud with us.

We’ve Seen This Movie Before - The Gen X Early Warning System
In this episode, Shell unpacks why Gen X is sounding the alarm about what’s happening in America right now — and why younger generations may not see the danger as clearly. From childhood Holocaust documentaries to grandparents who fought in WWII, Gen X grew up with a front-row seat to the warning signs of authoritarianism. We’ve lived through more presidents, more political swings, and more “this has never happened before” moments than any generation alive today.
“We’ve Seen This Movie Before” explores the patterns, the propaganda, and the slow erosion of freedom — and why Gen X might just be the early warning system we all need.
