    Be a fly on the wall of our off the rails season five podcast wrap up and season 6 brainstorm. Where else can you hear about Ned the non-binary newt, our search for the perfect GenZ (but GenX loving) intern, and how protective we are of our amazing Facebook community. You’ll even find out what Fast Company asked us about Gen X that we couldn’t answer, and what we’re planning for the fall release of our sixth (!!!) season. Duuude, you’ll kick yourself if you miss this one. Seriously. Listen now.
