Confessions of a Gen-X Mind is a narrative podcast told from inside the modern media experiment.  Hosted by a longtime media professional with academic foundations in journalism and ethics, the show explores culture, power, memory, and meaning through a distinctly Gen-X perspective. Raised analog. Adapted digital. Still skeptical.

Drawing on decades of experience across radio, streaming, voice acting, photography, blogging, and social media, the series traces the evolution of media from the inside out. These are first-person stories shaped by early journalistic values, industry proximity, and a front-row seat to how technology and incentives have reshaped storytelling and trust.

Episodes move between personal history and cultural analysis. Family mythology. Money and institutions. Grief and rebuilding. Neurodiversity. Identity. Some chapters examine systems and scandals. Others sit quietly with memory and self-reckoning. All of them ask the same question. What did this era do to us, and what do we do with that knowledge now?

Stylistically, the show draws from NPR-informed storytelling and This American Life-style narrative essays. Voice-driven. Reflective. Grounded in lived experience rather than hot takes or outrage for clicks.

If you grew up watching media evolve from dial tones to algorithms and felt both awe and unease along the way, this podcast is for you.
