Gen X Resistance

About Gen X Resistance

Gen X: Analog to Algorithm is about learning how systems work, before they work you. Hosted by Paul Stevens, the podcast uses Gen X’s unique lived experience between analog and digital worlds to translate skills like skepticism, critical thinking, and system awareness into modern life. This show isn’t about blaming generations or glorifying the past. It’s about understanding incentives, questioning convenience, and keeping your sanity in a world built on algorithms. If you’ve ever felt like everything is easier, but somehow harder to understand, this show is for you.

   Gen X Knows Something About This World That Others Don’t

   Send us Fan Mail Something’s off. You feel it. You can’t always explain it—but it’s there. The way people think, react, argue… even the way they process information just feels different now. In this episode, Paul Stevens breaks down why. This isn’t another “we drank from the hose” nostalgia trip. This goes deeper than that.
