Is this episode a PJ party or just good old fashioned girl talk? What’s for sure is that the ladies of the podcast (Chris was traveling) chat openly and honestly about feminism & what it’s like to be a GenX woman. Between growing up with Gloria Steinam's influence on our mothers, watching Katie in The Way We Were, "Leaning In" w/Sheryl Sandberg at work and stressing out with Ada Calhoun at midlife, we share our expectations, experiences and how we're feeling about everything right now. If you (or a beloved woman in your life) have also been thinking about evolving through it all, this ep is for you. Pinky promise.

Betcha were wondering where the GenX Stories Gang has been after we promised to start season 6 in september. PSYCH! But seriously, we have a reason for the delay and hate Eve’s computer for it. Listen in to hear about when Season 6 will actually start. (Hint: It’s soon - no, really!) And to get you in the mood, here are some other funny and “oops” episodes:

Other episodes to listen to before season six drops:

• This is your brain on tech. Dammit.
• It’s a wrap (for season 3 that is)
• If you build it, they will listen
• Cruel Summer: What we’ve been up to

Singing your favorite song at the top of your lungs is awesome, but did you always get the lyrics right? (Especially before you could look them up online). In this episode, the GenX Stories podcast gang finds out what a Mondegeen is, what a Raspberry Beret is not and which songs we embarrassingly just learned the right lyrics to.
Plus laugh your ass off at the best misheard lyrics our Facebook group members shared at a recent happy hour.

We have something embarrassing to admit - we got our publish dates a little off. While we have a kick ass Halloween episode ready to go, we're actually going to publish it next week (because, ya know, Halloween) which left today's scheduled episode sorta up in the air.

But have no fear because now you get to be a fly on the wall for this special BONUS ep - a little glimpse into our planning session for the rest of season three! We're keeping this short and sweet both because we want to keep you guessing and because we're still figuring it all out. As GenXers do.

Also Courtney is on the east coast right now, and we got to spend some in person time this past weekend, so hear about the trouble we got into together.
