    Ep112: Am I Turning Into a Millennial? A Gen Z in Crisis
    May 13 2025

    Luke, our resident Gen Z, is spiralling, convinced he is turning into a millennial and confronts the terrifying possibility that he is losing his edge.

    But is it really a generational identity crisis, or just the inevitable creep of maturity?

    In this episode, we explore the anxiety of adulting, why growing up feels like selling out, and whether Gen Z are just reaching adulthood a lot later than the Gen Y and Gen Xs.

    Ep111: No Sunscreen, No Seatbelts, No Supervision: How Did We Survive?
    May 6 2025

    Remember flying off the monkey bars, riding bikes without helmets, no sunscreen and no seatbelts when driving?

    In this episode Fiona and Darsh sit down and ask: What happened to danger? We explore how childhood has changed- from bruises, grazes and broken bones to bubble wrap safety- and whether today's kids are missing out on more than just scraped knees.

    With an increase in screen time indoors for the newer generations are we seeing less broken bones in the classroom?

    With our Gen X Fiona sharing the crazy things she experienced during a very normal 70s childhood, to Gen Y Darsh highlighting how things started to change during her Gen, join us for this nostalgic trip as we wonder if kids today would survive our playgrounds.
