We have other non-Wreck it Ralph discussions despite Jon, we promise!

GenX Kids’ Books Nov 01, 2018

Show notes

I didn’t ask for much as a kid but the exception was when the Scholastic Book Fair was coming to my school! They had so many books that it was difficult to choose! Many of us developed our love for reading back then, so join us as we look back at some of the book experiences we had growing up in Generation X!

GenX Future Predictions Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

When Generation X dreamed about the future, we pictured either a technological paradise with flying cars, helpful robots, no illness and rocket ships or we pictured a wasteland brought on by some human action. Neither came true (luckily in the latter), but we're still a ways off from where we thought we would be by now. In this Backtrack we look at what we thought the future would hold and discuss some of the things we thought we would have and don't, and what we have that we never would have predicted.

Radio Shack Oct 04, 2018

Show notes

"Breaker, breaker 1-9, I just eyeballed a bear trap with a bunch of Evel Knievels about 10 miles past the coop. So if you don't want a bear bite back it down."

Huh?

That was just some CB talk in honor of this week's Backtrack Topic all about Radio Shack! Any GenX'er who was into anything electronic will have a story about visiting a Radio Shack. They were the place to go when you needed a hard to find part or when you wanted to speak with some knowledgeable people about CB radios,

Collectible Cards Sep 20, 2018

Show notes

Before Magic the Gathering and Pokemon cards, we used to collects cards for no reason other than to have them. We had shoe boxes full of baseball cards and our binders were covered with Wacky Packs and Garbage Pail Kids stickers. In this episode we talk about our experiences with collectable cards growing up and even do a little research into the history!

Playing Outside Sep 06, 2018

Show notes

One, two, three.... NOT IT! How many times have you started an exhausting game of tag with those words? In this week's GenXGrownUp Backtrack we remember playing outside. Sometimes because we wanted to and sometimes because our parents banned us from the house! We talk about playing in the dirt, playing alone and other uses we found for "unstructured" time.
