  • Summary

  • As Generation X approaches the “Hey you kids get off my lawn!” age, it’s the perfect time to take stock of what exactly it is that defines us. Join Nate Starkey, Ashley Ward, and Matt Vogel — three Gen Xers bringing their personal perspectives to a wide range of pop culture, historic, and coming-of-age memories as part of the “forgotten generation”.

    If you, like us, are beginning to wonder if the crazy shit we grew up with actually happened, or was just some hair metal, Pac-Man, Speak & Spell-fueled fever dream…then SOLVE FOR GEN X is worth a listen.

    But whatever.

  • REWIND: Pop Culture Bonanza (w/Baby Boomer Bill Ward)

    REWIND: Pop Culture Bonanza (w/Baby Boomer Bill Ward)
    Jan 21 2025

    On this episode of Solve for Gen X, join Nate Starkey (Gen X 1971), Ashley Ward (Gen X 1972), and Matt Vogel (Gen X 1970) as they talk about “Pop Culture Bonanza”…and all that that implies. Generation X came of age at the tail end of the Cold War and it was reflected in nearly everything we did and saw from our movies to our music, our television to our classrooms. Gen Xers also saw the birth of MTV and cable and so much more! But why read this description when you could hear all about it on this episode of SOLVE FOR GEN X?

    Special Guest: Bill Ward (Baby Boomer 1948)
