Gen X Reverb32: Shopping Then. Shopping NowWe discuss shopping back when we were children and teens (Some of you listeners are children or teens now probably or from the BabyBoom. Welcome!) as opposed to shopping in the modern world.
We open up with this Tweet from Felicity @FlossAus: “I feel sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/ bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming “i’s ONNNNNN” to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.”

Gen X Reverb31: Gen-X Remembers Star TrekA little Jean-Luc. Some Benny Sisko and Janeway. New Trek. Old Trek. Just Trek banter. Oh, and we call fans 'Trekies' instead of the newly accepted moniker, 'Trekers'. Our bad.

Gen X Reverb24: Super Bowls Halftime Show! Part 1Lost episode! Quick note: We've had a few conversations with fans that comment on how long the episodes are, so instead of releasing this chat as one episode, we've broken it up into two for your listing delight. It's 56 days until NFL Kick off in 2021 and nothing will get you more excited than talking about... Super Bowl Halftime Shows. Jump in as we discuss halftime shows from the last couple of decades. We take a lot of shots at probably some of the biggest performers in our modern era. But that doesn't matter to Gen-X Reverb! Thanks for listening. Mi...

Gen X Reverb12: GXR Bonus Chat 1We didn't have a real aim with his episode, so we just ran all over the place. I mean, we pretty much do that anytime we record. But this was legit just a free-for-all, therapeutic, fun-time of laughter and serious talk with the guys. We'd like to pay utmost respect to the late Chadwick Boseman who'd passed the day we recorded this episode.

Gen X Reverb9: Batman RevisitedWe are talking Batman... again on Gen-X Reverb. Why? Because we love Batman? Nope... Mark and Justin missed out on the Bonus Episode that Bradley and Ken did. So they wanted to join in the fun. Can lightning strike in the same place twice? We'll let you decide. But first, we have a quick game of name that tune or as Ken knows it, continued reminders that he might have been adopted. Answers to the name that tune will appear at the bottom of the show notes after a spoiler disclaimer.

Gen X Reverb8: Gen X Foods & SnacksAn important note. Gen-X Reverb is at its core, a talk show. We do not claim to be nor do we try to be experts. This is simply a group of cousins who grew up together reminiscing about all the things that impacted us during our childhood. Often times we will bring something up to stimulate conversation and hope things make a turn for the funny. Rarely will we do a TON of research beforehand. But normally we do at least a little research... except for Justin. He likes to be surprised. If we got something wrong, please reach o...
