Ep. 27: GenX Lives! Generational Divides in the Global Pandemic

Waiting to X-hale - A podcast by Karen Tongson and Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh

Categories:

Wynter and Karen record remotely from their separate quarantine pods in Encino and Echo Park and give you an update on what they’ve been doing during their respective quarantines. Spoiler alert: they sure as hell ain’t writing King Lear. Mostly they’re just wrangling their Boomer parents--and their own deep anxieties. Amidst all of it, GenX has also managed to wedge its way into the Covid-19 conversation on Twitter with several bold claims about our ultimate preparedness for a crisis of this magnitude. The two break it all down for us. Plus, what’s a Zoom cocktail party like? Nuo-lingo brings us a term fit for the Roaring 20s, and a SOTW about closeness, even as we socially distance.  Join our Patreon for early access, bonus content, and SWAG: https://www.patreon.com/waitingtoxhale
