Gen X Jersey

Gen X Jersey is a point-of-view podcast built around host Melissa’s one simple idea: she says what she sees, through her own Gen X Jersey girl lens. A food and travel enthusiast who's a writer by trade and immersed in the independent music scene, she brings it all into the mix. Everything here is filtered through that perspective, from life to news to culture and music. She’s been around long enough to watch things go around and come back around, sometimes in ways that look completely different at first… until they don’t. Each episode picks a theme and runs with it. Sometimes it comes from the past, sometimes from what’s happening right now, but it always comes back to lived experience and a point of view that’s had time to shift, settle, and get clearer. She’s not here as an expert. She’s the one your friends would tell you to talk to, the one who’s paid attention, asked the questions, and figured out a way of doing life that a lot of people are still trying to get to. There’s an extension of the show on independent radio, where she plays what she loves and says what she wants. This is where she has more room to go further, follow the thought, and stay with it a little longer. You may not always agree, or even understand it. That’s OK. That’s part of it.
