**Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk**

Millennial podcast is a weekly roundtable about our Generation Y experience. From news to politics and pop culture, a panel of friends digs in on why these stories matter and how they affect millennials.

And we’re here to share our stories, along with our greatest challenges and wins, along the way. Millennial podcast is about journeying through young adulthood together.
