I love this podcast! The hosts are intelligent, funny, and charming. They present the ephemera of my generation from a feminist gender queer perspective that is so refreshing in our dude-bro world.

Don't miss out on these ladies. Always pure gold and an essential part of my week! Followed them from another podcast and can't wait for this!

Description

A Gen X-themed show with podcast veterans Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh and Karen Tongson (Pop Rocket). W2X revisits the pop culture & social issues that defined Generation X from a (queer) woman-of-color perspective in a way that sheds new light on the pop culture from both then, and now.
