Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk

Andrew Sims, Laura Tee, Pamela Gocobachi

Millennial podcast is a weekly roundtable about our Generation Y experience. From news to politics and pop culture, a panel of friends digs in on why these stories matter and how they affect millennials. If you’ve ever wondered how to maneuver student loan debt, voting, relationships, careers, or just life in general, we feel that SO. HARD. And we’re here to share our stories, along with our greatest challenges and wins, along the way. Millennial podcast is about journeying through young adulthood together.

Meanwhile, SNAP benefits hang in the balance and Open Enrollment looms, making November a month where politics and real life collide. It's rough out here, y'all. Then, Andrew leads us into the world of gaming, where a new generation of players say video games are boosting problem-solving, friendships, and even mental health. We dig into whether those claims hold up, share our own gaming habits, and hear from listeners about the titles that have them hooked (from Hades 2 to Powerwash Simulator 2). As always, we've got the best recommendations on deck: The Aura Frame (Andrew), Blue Prince (Laura), and checking out your local Library of Things (Pam). And in this week’s After Dark: Pam makes the case for ranking your friends. Is it helpful self-awareness or emotional chaos? Let’s talk about why knowing your “besties hierarchy” might actually make you a better friend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast Real talk… people are tired. In fact, 37% of Americans say they’ve taken vacation days just to rest (and honestly, same). Andrew’s finally acting like a grown-up and getting his blood work done (shoutout to Function Health for making it surprisingly fascinating). Then, we dive into TikTok’s newest productivity trend inspired by the gaming community: “Locking In.” From work and school to personal goals, Gen Z’s challenge to hyper-focus through the end of the year might just be the motivation we need. Plus, we’re bringing back one of our favorite traditions: this year’s physical gift for BAE Patrons and higher: a handwritten “Dear PAL” letter from the three of us, complete with a surprise digital perk to help you chill.

    Jane Goodall Is Spilling the Tea Post-Mortem

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast This week, Jane Goodall has her Final Interview on Netflix, and we talk about this new series that's going to be super compelling has time moves on. Then, we’re checking back in on the world of AI and how it’s transforming classrooms (for better or worse). Is AI just the latest boogeyman for academic dishonesty, or are there ways it can actually be beneficial for students and teachers? Some educators are saving time on admin tasks and lesson planning, and even see a future where AI can serve as a tutor for students. But not everyone’s convinced it’s a good thing. Who remembers written exams in blue books? Some teachers are going old-school with testing  to combat students cheating on their work with AI. We also hear directly from educators across the country about how AI is changing their classrooms. Some see it as a creative tool, others as a crutch that risks dulling students’ critical thinking. Are schools ready for this shift? Per usual, we came prepared with our latest recommendations: Screw Chrome, switch to DuckDuckGo (Andrew), look at perfume sampler kits for an affordable way to find your new fragrance (Laura), and a reminder that it's vax season and time to get your updated flu and covid shots! (Pam) And in this week's After Dark, we're declaring our midlife crises. What's in the Millennial Midlife Crisis Starter Pack™ for our subscribers? And we need to know if Botox qualifies as a midlife crisis, or just self-care. Asking for a friend. 👀 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The Best 'Buy For Life' Items For Smarter Spending

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast This week, we’re cashing our imaginary $51 Amazon class-action checks and debating what ridiculous Prime purchase we’d blow it on. Meanwhile in D.C., Trump flirts with yet another government shutdown (spoiler: it shut down) and calls in his army of “yes men” while real federal workers brace for furloughs (or worse). We’re also breaking down what tariffs on lumber and furniture could mean for your next splurge, and why sometimes, splurging is exactly what your budget needs. From “buy it for life” items to guilty pleasures that bring us joy, we’re asking: when is it worth spending big in an uncertain economy? Per usual, we've got recommendations handy: Hydration backpacks (Andrew), Netflix's 'Umbrella Academy' (Laura), and Orly in a snap quick dry top-coat formula (Pam). And this week's installment of After Dark has TOO MUCH TEA to plug in front of the paywall. Let's just say it's a new edition of MuggleSuck... Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why The FCC and Trump Overstepped With Kimmel

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast Dear PALs, the rapture may be delayed, but the drama is right on time! We're digging into the FCC’s pressure on ABC and the fallout from Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension (and reinstatement). What this means for free speech, the politics behind Sinclair and Nexstar’s decisions, and how moves at the top trickle down to independent creators like us. Disney+ faced protests and cancellations over the Kimmel fiasco, and chose this moment to announce everyone's least favorite update: price hikes. All the while, stars and fans alike are canceling Disney+ in solidarity. As always, we're here with the best recommendations: Draft Top Lift Universal Topless Can Opener  (Andrew), weighted blankets to soothe your anxiety in these troubled times (Laura), and Mighty Patch to keep your visage clean and clear! (Pam) Did you get left behind? #Rapturegate may have disappointed some, but our 23% Patreon discount for new subscribers still stands for a few more days. Don't miss out! And in this week's installment of After Dark: Since y'all know we love to talk shit, we've got some updated neighborhood tea to spill. But we're not the only ones bitching this week! Our BAE Patrons weigh in to let us know what neighborhood nonsense is bugging them, and getting some tips from them on how to deal with the most annoying neighbor.

    When AI Came For Novels, Authors Struck Back

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast This week: It's been... quite a week. We check in on the latest breaking headlines, including Trump's (alleged) face drooping during last week's 9/11 memorial. We're also breaking down Anthropic’s $1.5 billion settlement with authors after a judge ruled the AI giant trained its chatbot on pirated books. Is this the “Napster moment” for AI, and what does it mean for the future of copyright battles in tech? We also reflect on the decline of reading for fun, and some of us get to humblebrag on the number of books we've read so far in 2025. From social media distractions to BookTok trends, we account for what makes reading difficult, and what inspires us to pick up new reading.  We love a theme, so this week we've got book recommendations on board for y'all! Dare to Lead by Brené Brown (Andrew), This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead (Laura), and The Third Gilmore Girl: A Memoir by Kelly Bishop (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark, we're talking about the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination. How are we faring after the events of last week, and how are we navigating the constantly shifting details as they emerge? How are we dealing with friends on social media who latch onto single headlines and proceed to double down on a narrative? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The TV That Aged Horribly, and Today's Shows That Will

    Support #Millennial! Pledge on Patreon and receive lots of perks: https://patreon.com/millennial Visit our merch store: https://shop.millennialshow.com Watch episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@millennialpodcast This week: The Supreme Court has once again reminded us whose rights really matter: profiling is officially A-OK according to SCOTUS (are we winning yet?). We unpack what this ruling means, why it’s so dangerous, and yes, whether we can finally start profiling white dudes with bad haircuts trying to buy guns. Plus, we’re talking about the new Biggest Loser documentary and the long list of TV shows that aged like spoiled milk (What Not to Wear, America’s Next Top Model, The Swan, and more). What current shows will make us cringe in a decade? We’ve got thoughts on Love on the Spectrum and MILF Manor. As always, we've got recommendations (Netflix edition) ready to go: 'Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser' (Andrew), 'Wednesday' season 2 (Laura), and 'The Great British Bake Off' (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We're sharing some updates on some spicy drama we plugged a couple of weeks ago. But it's not all updates - there is new drama too.
