A podcast about how the lost generation found itself. Seriously.
Duuude. We’re in Fast Company.
Ironically, one of our goals for this podcast was to celebrate everyday Gen Xers who weren’t being written about in places like Fast Company.
So imagine our surprise when three months ago we were actually approached by a writer for Fast Company who wanted to tell our generation’s story!
Check out the article entitled “Stuck between boomers and millennials, Gen X keeps rolling with the punches” which quotes our very own creator, host & executive producer, Eve Simon.

“I thought I was an outsider. Turns out that I’m Gen X. I was initially wary because there’s a glut of posers preening to our generation but GenX Stories is legit! I truly enjoy the topics Gen X Stories discusses as they go beyond the typical tropes about Gen X and delve into who we are today.”

“I love a good conversation and these four Gen Xrs have a great flow. I just saw a headline about how nostalgia is good for mental well-being, especially if it helps you find ways to make modern life better. Y’all help me remember what authentic self means and how elements of our era shaped my childhood, teens, and 20s.”

A very personal award
We are thrilled to share that a special and very personal episode of the GenX Stories podcast just won a W3 award.
Back in February, Courtney and Eve recorded this emotional and largely unedited episode 14 months following the loss of her mother and five months after Eve’s father‘s death. Nothing makes grief any better, but talking about losing a parent and sharing what it meant to us as Gen Xers was far more healing than either of us had imagined.
Thanks to everyone for your support and letting us be authentic about how this has all felt. This award is just the cherry on top.
We won an award. Woah.
The GenX Stories podcast, produced and hosted by Eve Simon Creative, just won a 2022 Best in Show W3 Award in the podcast category. For a teeny show run by four 50+ friends (and first time podcasters, not a podcast network), this is a huge honor.
Thanks to our supporters & listeners and beloved co-hosts - Courtney, Lori And Chris - who somehow agreed to go along with this crazy thing.
