The GenXtra Podcast

Hey GenXtra fans! We are still here, and despite not updating this page in several weeks, THERE ARE NEW SHOWS in the list!

Regardless, don't forget to check out our latest show, episode 179!

This week, Dave and Joe dive into the world of bizarre sports, starting with the hilariously dangerous tradition of cheese rolling. From there, they explore a range of unconventional competitions, including shin kicking, car curling, and even the controversial sport of dwarf tossing. (And much, much more!)

Hey! We're back and we've got a brand new episode for you.

This episode of the GenXtra podcast features Tyler from Mayflower Hill. Join us as we discuss his band, song selection, and navigating the divide between cover songs and originals. The second portion of the show features an original piece from Mayflower Hill and some light comedic analysis of a recent song. We close the show with a media discussion. Big thanks to Tyler and the rest of Mayflower Hill.

Hey! We wanted to let you know we are still in the midst of scheduling some of our upcoming shows / recordings. Stay tuned.

Hello everyone out there in GenXtra land. We hope you had a great weekend.

Despite the format changes, we aren't 100% satisfied with the show. One of the biggest problems we've run into the past few months is the ability to generate content that is new, creative, and interesting. We feel like we've hit point where we are rehashing content, or subjects that we've talked about numerous times over the years.

So what are we going to do about it? At this moment, it probably means taking a little time off to reformat the show and return with something that really excites us, and hopefully works better for our audience as well. We truly want to be a show more focused on people, places, and topics specific to our area, and that means we need time to get that started.

We have multiple options on the table and we don't want to get into too much at the moment, especially when it comes to our expected rhythm and/or specific show format. We aren't done. We have a bunch of new content on the horizon. We'll keep you updated.

Stay with us while we reveal more details. More to come.

Btw, don't forget to check out our last CURRENT show over on the main page, or your favorite podcast app.

(If you have any suggestions, ideas, or content that you'd like us to concentrate on, please drop us a message. Obviously we can't promise anything, but we are always looking for feedback, and possibly other people to have on the show.)

The GenXtra Podcast | Dave & Joe Immerse yourself in a journey through technology, lifestyle, amusement, and social critique. If you relish engaging debates, thoughtful social commentary, and amusing anecdotes, this is the podcast for you. Tune in and appreciate the Gen X perspective.

Episode 172 posted this morning. Go check it out!
This is the fourth week in our four week rotation. We open this week with Dave’s opinion on Oppenheimer, and then jumping into the cultural phenomenon surrounding the Stanley tumbler brand, the buying frenzy, and the accessories that go with them. The second segment of the show is a revisit to the topic of self-driving vehicles. We end the show with our open segment, but this week Dave is going to challenge Joe with a game called Fake or Florida.

[Please note there is a correction in this week's episode. The fourth weird news segment (about an exploding trailer) was a viral hoax story that makes its way around the Internet every few years. It did not happen and we have fixed the issue that caused it to come up in our search for interesting / weird news.]

Hey, come check out episode 170! It's the second week of our new rotational format. That means the return of weird news, and a few other topics.

Hey, if there's something from the previous format that you would like to see in rotation, please let us know in the comments. Our general plan is a four week rotation (+ some variety), but we can always try and move something around if there is an audience favorite.
