  • Another 'Hunger Games' Spinoff, The Benefits of 'Third Spaces' and How to Find Them

    Another 'Hunger Games' Spinoff, The Benefits of 'Third Spaces' and How to Find Them
    Jun 12 2024
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and REAL talk! Welcome back Micah! It must be an election year - we'll see you again in 2026. ;) BREAKING NEWS: The team behind #Millennial and MuggleCast has launched a new pop-culture centric show - What the Hype?! is the third podcast baby we've been ruminating on for quite some time. Join us on this next podcasting journey! Want a taste of what to expect on What the Hype?! Look no further than today's discussion of the recently announced Hunger Games spinoff. Does it feel icky that Scholastic and Lionsgate made this joint announcement, introducing an upcoming novel that is already in the early stages of being adapted to a film? Everyone loves an origin story, right? Or do they? How does 'Hunger Games' compare to other major literary/film fandoms, like 'Harry Potter' and 'Twilight?' #Millennial decides 2024: the results are in, and our Patrons have decreed that the official name for our listeners is.... PALs! (Like Pam, Andrew, Laura, get it?) What's a third space? If you didn't know this term, you're not the only one. Third places are settings a person frequents beyond their home (the first place) and work (the second place). If you're now realizing you don't have a third space, you're also not alone! Many third spaces were shuttering even before the pandemic, and now that we're accustomed to being at home even more post-COVID, it's harder to get back in the habit. Andrew and Pam are our resident third space girlies, while Laura and Micah realize they are... lacking in the third space department. Oops. Andrew, a very supportive and wise friend, gives Laura some real talk that she can't make podcasting her ONLY third space. What are some tips that can help people find new third spaces? MeetUp, joining a book club, joining local Facebook groups and subreddits. There's no theme to this week's recommendations sorry not sorry: SpotMyUV stickers for knowing when it's time to reapply sunscreen (Andrew), Noteful for taking physical notes on your tablet (Pam), 'The Boys' season 4 on Amazon Prime (Laura), and our first few episodes of What the Hype?! and the book The Mindful Body (Micah). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We reflect (and lament) the passage of time, inspired by this satirical piece from the New Yorker. Where did the time go? One minute we were the youth, and now we're just waiting for the younger generations to come up with the millennial equivalent of "Ok Boomer." Some shit that feels like happened yesterday happened well over a decade ago, and we're shook. But now the tea: what cosmetic procedures are Andrew and Laura getting ready to do because #vanity.

  • Jennifer Ruined Quiet Vacationing For Everyone

    Jennifer Ruined Quiet Vacationing For Everyone
    Jun 5 2024
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! There are 34 reasons why we’re excited today but we can’t… quite… put our finger on it… OH YEAH! Some small modicum of justice was finally served - and it basically cured Laura’s covid! Dammit Jennifer: How a CNBC reporter put us all on blast and made our bosses suspicious of quiet vacationing. THANKS FOR RUINING IT JENNIFER! Have we ever quiet vacationed, and is there a way to do it right? Do we actually believe the aesthetic we often see portrayed of people quiet vacationing on a beach? While 46% of US workers don’t take all of their paid time off due to being worried about falling behind or missing out on promotions, we’re pleased to report that 74% of listeners responding to a #Millennial poll take ALL their PTO! Speaking of travel, we’re a little shook at the takes some vacationers have on the unspoken rules of travel… Is Andrew going to hell for storing his carry-on in the overhead bin? Laura says YES. Seat reclining on airplanes will forever be a controversial topic, we all know where our lines are drawn in the sand. What are our travel pet peeves? People rushing the airline gate, getting on planes when OBVIOUSLY sick, and listening to music without headphones! This week’s recommendations are a HEAD CARE edition: Hims Hair Loss Treatment (Andrew), Ice face rollers (Pam), and Eye massaging masks (Laura). And in this week’s installment of After Dark: What words are people muting on Bumble nowadays, and what key words would WE mute? We review our own dating profiles to reflect on what is most cringe about how we present ourselves to potential dates. “Guess what my shitty former friend said was WRONG with me based on my Bumble BFF profile.” Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Exciting but Miserable Life of Freelancing

    The Exciting but Miserable Life of Freelancing
    May 29 2024
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real freelance talk! First things first! We’re pouring one out for Laura Tee, who couldn’t make this week’s show due to COVID. In Laura’s absence, Andrew and Pam open up about life as full time freelancers. Our discussion this week is inspired by a few questions we got about what it's like working in freelance full-time. We hope this chat helps anyone else out there looking to make the switch to self-employment! We kick things off on a positive note and detail the upsides of freelancing. The perks include flexible schedules, working from home (or from anywhere you want/can!), and following your passions. Are Pam and Andrew really happy working freelance full-time? How do we combat the fear of knowing our jobs aren’t guaranteed in the same way that working a traditional corporate job is? Have we ever had to chase down clients who just don’t pay us on time? Elsewhere, the topic of 401Ks and healthcare comes up when we dig into the downsides of life as freelancers. How do we go about securing health care? How about saving for retirement? Ultimately, would Pam and Andrew recommend going freelance to others in the year 2024? To wrap things up, we take a few questions from listeners: What do we wish we knew at the beginning of our careers? How do we show people we’re capable of doing the job they want? How do we battle imposter syndrome? Do we stress out about not having a consistent paycheck? This week’s recommendations include: Wave Invoicing (Andrew) for an easy-to-use system to draw up professional invoices, and Whole Foods’ coffee bar (Pam) in lieu of chains for more affordable coffee. And in this week’s installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts: Our Friend Series continues, and this week we’re tackling the tough topic of lending friends money. To kick things off, Andrew shares a personal story in relation to this week’s AD theme Have we ever had friends ask to borrow large sums of money? And what do we do when they don’t pay it back? What about when it comes to lower stakes instances like spotting a friend for coffee or lunch How late is too late to ask your buddy to Venmo you back for that dinner you put on your card? Asking for a friend (no really-- we are!) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
