The midterms are here, and we’re asking the big question: how are we all voting, and have we done it yet? We break down what's on our ballots, and have some fun talking about the craziest campaign ads we've seen this season.

Then it’s your turn. Listener feedback takes us across the map: We hear from listeners in Wisconsin, Ohio, Colorado, Texas, California, Georgia, and Alabama to name just a few of the states we covered this week. Then Confessionals bring the heat. Europe has a message for America, one listener flew across the world to vote in Israel’s election, a former Republican explains why they now vote blue, and a Venezuelan-born PhD student in Miami reflects on feeling like “the weird one” in their own community.

Recs this week: Laura recommends Mio, Pam is into the Finch app, and Eric shares BallotReady for getting prepped before you vote.

And in this week's installment of After Dark:

Some people heard there was a loneliness epidemic and said, "I could be lonelier!" We talk about why some millennials don't exactly have an open door policy for every friend who's in town for a concert. We also dig into the challenges and dynamics of maintaining friendships between parents and their childfree friends.

Red or blue? Turns out that’s not the whole story. This week, the three of us took Pew Research’s new political typology quiz, and we're talking about what our results say about us and whether we agree with them. We also get into what it feels like to vote for a party you’re ambivalent about, and whether your side makes room for dissent. Even the most progressive group in the study is only lukewarm on the Democratic Party.

The loudest voices in politics are also a small slice of the public. About 38% of adults fall into the four highly ideological, highly partisan groups. So does the internet make us look more divided than we really are? And have we retreated into our own bubbles?

We close with recs. Laura’s recommending Naboso activation sensory insoles, Pam’s pick is The Great British Bake Off, and Eric’s is Control and Control Resonant.

And in this week's installment of After Dark, come be petty with us! We're getting into our petty grudges that we may or may not have let go of yet. 👀

ATTENTION APPLE PODCAST SUBSCRIBERS: We're aware of an issue that is preventing y'all from receiving ad free Mega #Millennial episodes. While we are actively troubleshooting this with Apple, they're not exactly moving quickly. You are welcome to request a refund from Apple Podcasts directly We're also inviting you to check out our Patreon insteadwith your first month on us!

This week we're pop culture focused, but that doesn't mean we're not gonna side-eye the latest BS from dear leader: POTUS extended an invitation to Iran to level a couple of west coast cities, while blocking another media outlet from access to the press pool. Very American of you, sir!

Then it's on to the main event: our Pop Culture News Roundup. Merriam-Webster just added nearly 1,400 new entries, including looksmaxxing, cuffing season, and trash panda, plus parasocial, superfood, uncanny valley, shapewear, and meme coin. We have thoughts on which of these we're proud of and which make us want to lie down. The Emmys are also leaving broadcast TV for the first time since 1949, landing on Prime Video in a six-year deal. And we have thoughts on method acting to share, based on actor Jeremy Strong's recent sorry-not-sorry statement in the face of being recognized as a huge d-bag. And we've got something for the Hunger Games fans too! A new trailer for 'Sunrise on the Reaping' is here with a closer look at the arena perils, the chariot stampede, and Silka and her axe. We do a quick Haymitch refresher, and give the studio props for its viral marketing placement around our nation's capitol.

For this week's recs, Laura says make your early voting plan, and Pam recommends The Uncool by Cameron Crowe.

And in this week's installment of After Dark:

Pam and Laura have a bone (or several) to pick with some people we're choosing to put on blast behind the paywall. Come be petty with us. You know you want to!!

Spooky season is officially here, and we're kicking it off the only way we know how: by getting way too nostalgic. Are we horror movie people, or do we just like the vibes? From there we get into our fall and Halloween traditions, including favorite scary movie rewatches, creepy and true crime podcasts on repeat, and one very unspooky but very real love of jogging outdoors in the crisp air. And there's no such thing as Spooky Szn without reminiscing about our favorite costumes over the years! Our PALs over at Patreon.com/millennial round out the discussion by sharing their favorite Halloween nostalgia (and we received a confessional admitting to conception during one particular horror movie classic!).

We wrap with recs. Laura is listening to the Spooked podcast, Pam recommends O'Keefe's Working Hands to keep your hands moisturized this fall, and Eric is watching Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026) and Cold Storage (2026).

Don't miss this week's installment of After Dark, where we get personal about what creeps us out, and if we've ever heard anything go bump in the night!

This week we're joined by Becky, a youth services librarian to talk about everything from why a library card actually matters (for you and the library itself) to how kids' reading habits and attention spans have shifted in recent years — a nice follow-up to our literacy crisis episode with Shelby. We also get into the real, nuanced stuff: what happens when a parent challenges a book, the tension between a parent's right to guide their own kid's reading and restricting access for everyone else, and the messy debate over publishers revising older books versus preserving the original text. With Banned Books Week kicking off October 4th, Becky breaks down what it's actually for and what she wants parents, educators, and community members to understand about the role libraries play in kids' lives.

As always, we've got the best recs lined up! Laura's deep in Dungeon Crawler Carl, Pam's got a new pair of Anker Soundcore earbuds, and Becky's recommending the Fable app for your next book club meeting.

And in this week's installment of After Dark... Is it a faux pas to bring iced coffee to a job interview? We reflect on our own interviewing experiences and honestly find ourselves realizing we think bringing iced coffee to an interview is a weird move. Are we getting old? That might explain why Gen Z seems to think millennials just need to retire already...

This week we're doing a little housekeeping and a deep dive into our inbox for your feedback! First, we're in the Dumpster Fire Corner fact-checking whether food recalls are actually getting worse (spoiler: sort of, and it's messier than it looks), the US looking to import previously-rejected beef, a legal loophole being used against wild horses, and why the internet is losing it over Beyoncé sampling Selena.

Then we spend time sharing listener responses to our recent episodes on the literacy crisis, America's 250th birthday, Looksmaxxing, and more. We're also rounding up notes from past episodes, including perfect attendance flashbacks, brutal middle school grading standards, an Andor love letter that might make you start the show immediately, and a "stooping it" porch culture recommendation that sounds like the best kind of third space.

As always, we've got our weekly recs (Laura's got a book pick with Verity by Colleen Hoover, Pam's recommending The Very Definition of Love by Sophia Benoit), and After Dark is waiting for Patrons and Apple Podcast subscribers with a fun continuation of our friendship deep-dive series.

Hollywood promised us metal shop, mystery lunch ladies who slip you pie on your birthday, and a school-wide obsession with the football team's win-loss record. Real high school delivered... none of that, mostly. This week Pam, Eric, and Laura dig into the gap between movie-and-TV high school and the real thing, from the sports that never mattered outside their own tiny orbit to the theater kids who really were exactly as intense as every teen movie promised. Pam mourns a cafeteria she never had, prom stories get recounted, and we end up plugging how excited we are for the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's 'Carrie' on Amazon Prime.

Recs this week: Laura says don't skimp on the sunscreen, Pam's got a Native dry shampoo powder recommendation, and Eric points you toward the "10 Things I Hate About You" episode of But Make It Scary.

Stick around for After Dark, where the high school stories get too juicy for the main feed — think teenage confessions and a very memorable European school trip.

This week we're joined by Shelby, a middle school teacher who's here to tell us exactly how worried we should be about America's literacy crisis — spoiler, it's bad, but also more complicated than "kids these days." We get into what's actually happening in classrooms right now: sixth graders who need to be taught basic sentence structure, reading stamina that's been eroded by screens, and the widening gap between students who are thriving and students who are falling behind. Shelby gets real about what's driving all this — curriculum shifts, tech in the classroom, socioeconomic factors — and shares why she made the call to limit device use in her own classroom this year. If you're a millennial parent who grew up on Hooked on Phonics and whole language, this one's for you, but honestly it matters whether you have kids or not.

This week's recommendations: Donate to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (Pam), 826 National (Shelby), and Overtone (Laura).

And in this week's installment of After Dark: Who remembers the olds fear mongering about how we'd never get jobs with our tattoos, piercings, and funny colored hair? Jokes on them! We did find careers (but now we realize how draining they are). Join us for a discussion on the things we thought would impact us more when we were younger. We also have some predictions for which current trends we think will bite us in the ass later!

This week, we're hitting close to home by exploring the similarities and differences in cell phone usage across generations. Have the Boomers forgotten they used to yell at us for being on our phones too much? Because they are in their phones. We compare the commonality of falling for the algorithm across generations, and explore the ways in which over reliance on mobile devices hinders us. We're also looking at cell phone usage amongst Gen Alpha: at least half of U.S. states have now passed media literacy laws aimed at helping kids spot AI-generated fakes, and several of those states are pairing the requirement with new limits on phone use in schools.

This week's recommendations: Laura's got you covered with the FDA's safety alerts tracker so you can keep an eye on the next recall before it hits your kitchen, Eric's deep in a Two Dots addiction, and Pam is recommending 'The Emotion Thesaurus' for anyone who wants to write feelings better than "sad" and "happy."

And in this week's installment of After Dark:

We love it when state laws change for the better (and tbh, more with the times). We're recounting some of our youthful indiscretions behind the paywall this week...

It's Confessionpalooza time, and honestly, you all outdid yourselves this round! We're diving into a mailbag of listener confessions ranging from "haha relatable" to "wait, we need to sit with this one for a second," and we're doing our best to hold space for all of it. From AI boyfriends and 4th grade cringe moments to conspiracy theories and health anxieties, #Millennial is here for you! Please note this is not therapeutic or legal advice, and you shouldn't make life decisions based on it. We're strangers on the internet. Have we taught you nothing about the dangers of parasocial relationships?

Are you interested in your confession being featured on a future installment? Submit to the #Millennial Confessional: https://millennialshow.com/confessional/

This week's recs are Laura's pick of Maptap and Pam's pick of the Caffeine app for staying focused at your computer.

And if you're a Patron or Apple Podcasts subscriber, stick around for After Dark, where we're getting into fandom drama, soft-blocking, and what to do when an online friendship implodes without warning. A little bit of tea from our fandom days brings this conversation to life!

We're kicking things off in the Dumpster Fire Corner, where the GOP has apparently decided the best way to distract from a failed Iran war, a military running low on weapons, the Epstein files, and an affordability crisis nobody in Congress seems to be fixing is to dust off Anthony Fauci and blame him for the pandemic. Again.

But for our main discussion, we're bidding adieu to summer with a nostalgic chat about summer travel, childhood vacations, and affordability. New data says a majority of Americans are scaling back this summer, with cost — gas, groceries, hotels, all of it — driving people toward day trips or just staying home altogether. But weirdly, road trips themselves are booming, with Hertz reporting a huge chunk of Americans planning to hit the road this year, many of them chasing America's 250th anniversary with Route 66, Boston, and Freedom Trail itineraries.

Recs this week include a case for solo travel, the Travle.earth app and Raddle Quest for your next trip planning obsession, and a gentle nudge to protect your mental health by muting triggering keywords on social media.

And in this week's installment of After Dark... Pam digs into some serious lore that has us on the edge of our seats. The tea is piping hot!

This week we're doing our annual SDCC download, and there is a lot to unpack. We start with Avengers: Doomsday, because obviously, and get into the very Dr. Doom-heavy footage from Hall H. From there we hop to Disney+'s Percy Jackson, which just dropped a season 3 teaser and a release date (November 20!) that has book readers buzzing about how accurate this season might actually be.

Then we talking about Mike Flanagan's Carrie reboot — yes, with cell phones, yes, we have thoughts — landing on Prime October 7, plus Matthew Lillard's casting as the principal, which, honestly, correct choice. And because no Comic-Con recap is complete without a little discourse, we get into Kevin Feige comparing the Doctor Doom buildup to Thanos and why fans are very much not here for it.

Rounding things out, we've got Spaceballs news (Rick Moranis showed UP, people), a surprisingly moving story about how fan campaigning got Coyote vs. Acme un-shelved and into actual theaters, and just an overall reminder that this fandom stuff still means something to people.

We close things out with recs: Laura's hydrating her face with the Elf Holy Hydration moisturizer, Eric's deep in Star Trek mode with the Improvised Star Trek podcast (start on episode 85, "The Search for Sock"), and Pam wants you to buy local produce when you can to avoid the current explosive diarrhea outbreak sweeping the nation.

And in this week's installment of After Dark... the girls haven't had a chance to catch up on life things in a while! So listen in as we fill each other in on all the updates, family drama, and life happenings of recent weeks.

Grab your popcorn and your feelings, because this week we're diving headfirst into the YA romance takeover happening on your TV right now. We're joined by Christine Riccio (author of 'Thirty, Flirty, and Forever Alone' and 'Attached at the Hip', host of Those Forking Fangirls podcast) to talk through whether we're actually living in a golden age of YA romance television, or if it just feels that way because Netflix and Amazon can't stop greenlighting shows built for people who grew up on The CW and obsessed over the Twilight saga. We get into what's different about the hype around shows like Off Campus, Heated Rivalry, and The Summer I Turned Pretty, how much of this we can credit to BookTok (and social media more broadly), and whether virality now matters more than a built-in fanbase ever did.

Christine also brings her perspective as a published romance author to weigh in on how this boom is rippling into publishing. Plus: why does it seem like contemporary romance is winning while sci-fi and fantasy YA (RIP Vampire Academy and First Kill) can't get a second season? We break down what we think is really going on, and what we'd love to see more of on screen.

Recs this week: Laura's got Obsession, Pam's bringing author Elissa Sussman, and Christine is serving up 'Cherry Baby' by Rainbow Rowell.

Where to find Christine: Instagram, YouTube, Those F%#king Fangirls, Amazon

This week on Millennial, we're deep in Dumpster Fire Corner territory, and honestly, we can barely keep up. Is Mitch McConnell alive? Is he not? We talk through the whispers, the hypocrisy math, and why nobody inside or outside the beltway is even surprised anymore. Add in a looming primetime Trump address that may or may not relitigate the 2020 Georgia Senate races (again), and you've got a news cycle that feels more like a fever dream than a Tuesday.

Then we shift gears to something a little more grounded, but no less infuriating: hobby inflation. Turns out that pottery class or new fishing reel isn't in your head — the cost of having a personality has genuinely gone up. We talk about how TikTok turned hobbies into status symbols, why the pandemic sent everyone sprinting toward socially-distanced pastimes, and how tariffs are somehow now a factor in whether you can afford new lures. We get into what happens when hobbies price out the middle class — the community you lose, the people you no longer get to know, and how this all feels a lot like losing another third space. Basically: it's not just rent that's gotten unaffordable, it's joy.

Hi PALs! Since we're off this week, we're releasing a recent installment of After Dark to give y'all a taste of what life is like behind the paywall.

We're turning 250 this weekend, and honestly? We need to talk about it. Join us as we reflect on what it means to be American right now—the good, the bad, and the absolutely infuriating. We're checking in with ourselves and our audience about where we're at as a nation and what patriotism actually means when you love your country but are genuinely horrified by what it's doing.

What does patriotism actually feel like? Is it possible to be critical of America without being branded anti-patriotic? And whose history gets left out of the American story we're celebrating?

And in this week's installment of After Dark: We're looking back on the participation trophy—how it became a caricature for millennial stereotyping, and why we're still hearing about it in the workplace. Come feel that generational rage with us!

Welcome to the Millennial Special Anniversary Edition—we're celebrating 50 years of Star Wars by doing what we do best: connecting fictional universes to our very real problems.

Then we get into the real meat: how the Prequel Trilogy—Episodes 1-3—basically predicted the slow-motion collapse of democracy. We draw the obvious parallels to modern executive overreach, the erosion of checks and balances, and how Congress just... stopped checking anything. We even dig into what George Lucas actually said about all this—spoiler: he was thinking about Vietnam, Nixon, and the way democracies don't get overthrown, they get given away.

We're also connecting the dots between fictional servitude and the very real greed on display right now, complete with a deep dive into Walmart's electronic price tags that could—with existing tech—charge you a different price based on what the system thinks you can afford.

On theme for this week, we're keeping our recommendations pop culture centric: The 'Family Guy' Star Wars parodies (Eric) and the 2009 film 'Fanboys' (Pam).

In After Dark, we're getting personal with some lighter questions: What's your Roman Empire? Have you experienced a friendship breakup? What do you think you'll be like at 80? Join us as Pam and Eric get to know each other better.

The World Cup is delivering, and not just on the pitch. This week we start with a genuine feel-good moment: cross-cultural chaos and connection across North America, from Cape Verde stunning Spain in Atlanta to a German tourist discovering Helen, GA and a Japanese visitor writing a love letter to free chips and salsa. Sometimes the world is actually kind of great.

Then we get into it. AI is officially the number one reason people are losing their jobs in 2026. We dig into the 2026 International AI Safety Report, which finds that AI is impressive in some areas and genuinely concerning in others. These tools might be making us worse at the very things we're supposed to be getting better at.

We also get into AI and grade inflation — a new Berkeley study finds professors in writing- and coding-heavy courses are handing out significantly more A's post-ChatGPT. And Pam weighs in from a journalism angle on what AI can and can't do for freelancers, and we get honest about the tasks we've tried to hand off to AI that just... made more work.

And in this week's installment of After Dark, it's the AI Honesty Corner: we asked our AI platforms to profile us, roast us, and name our blind spots. The accuracy was mixed, occasionally devastating, and in at least one case, deeply funny.

Happy Pride, millennials! This week Laura and Eric are getting personal. They share their results from the Kinsey Scale and the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid and dig into what those numbers actually mean — and what they don't. Do these tools change how you think about your identity? When do labels feel useful, and when do they just flatten the full picture?

The conversation expands from sexuality to gender, including a thought experiment that asks: if you could wake up tomorrow in a different body — with no one batting an eye — would you press the button? For a deeper dive on figuring out gender identity, check out Doc Impossible's piece on Substack: https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/how-to-figure-out-if-youre-trans

Then Laura and Eric zoom out to talk about the state of Pride in 2026 — what it means to celebrate, and what corporate involvement in queer spaces has come to look like. We dig into the cautionary tale of Target, which built its entire brand identity around inclusion and aspiration, then quietly walked away from it under political and economic pressure — with real consequences for its bottom line. (Full piece from the Minnesota Reformer linked below.)

Recs this week: Laura's watching The Birdcage — a forever classic. And Eric wants you to check out Doc Impossible on substack.

After Dark is an extension of today's conversation — what does "heterosexual, more than incidental homosexual tendencies" actually mean for how we think about own identities? We dig into this and more personal questions inspired by today's discussion!
