A Gen X-themed show with podcast veterans Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh and Karen Tongson (Pop Rocket). W2X revisits the pop culture & social issues that defined Generation X from a (queer) woman-of-color perspective in a way that sheds new light on the pop culture from both then, and now.

<p><img src= "https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/15.0/1f680/72.png" />I've been dreaming of this very journey for a few years. I turned 40 during COVID and was hit with speed bump after speed bump. Situations I have never anticipated experiencing and in some cases it will be my first time sharing it with you.</p> <p> </p> <p> Once you've lived through a pandemic as I have, you see things differently, your appreciation for life hits differently and your tolerance for BS plummets… I want to navigate those twists and turns with you and stray off the beaten path just for the thrill of it. Through the chaos, expect a touch of wit and snark, the kind that's earned from years of figuring it out.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Just for W2X listeners I'm offering an opportunity for you to get the full breadth of my journey forward. Learn more at <a href="http://tangentisland.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">tangentisland.com</a> how you can get exclusive access to my companion show, Tangent Island: Staying Afloat and video episodes of the main show.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Tangent Island drops every Monday and launches officially in January 2024.</p> <p> </p> <p>In the meantime follow the show feed on <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tangent-island/id1708852892"> Apple Podcasts</a> and <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/17f2qweEopsxWahuJRiUr7?si=fb05e1056ffb474c"> Spotify</a>, me on Instagram <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/wynter/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">@wynter</a> and the show <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/tangentisland/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">@tangentisland</a> </p> <p> </p>

<p><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-343abd1f-7fff-d65c-f2ee-3cfb9e054520">It’s the final episode, and there are tears shed, and personal revelations made as Karen and Wynter contemplate their favorite “second acts” in popular culture. Amidst it all, Wynter also discusses her new project dropping in January, and Karen shares a couple of lines from her new book Normporn. Plus, a glimpse at Apple TV+’s The Supermodel, and Todd Haynes’ latest, May/December. What’s the last NUO-LINGO ever? And what did each of our hosts choose as their final songs? We’re going to miss all of you, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.</strong></p>

<p><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-b6b100fa-7fff-6656-d70a-9204489a4bb0">In our penultimate episode, Wynter and Karen prepare for the end by reflecting on their favorite series finales including Mad Men, Six Feet Under, The Good Place and The Americans among others. Before they do, Karen insists on one more discussion about a pop culture controversy: Julianna Marguilles’ condescending comments told from her perspective “as someone who plays a lesbian journalist” on TV. Our team LOVES Squid Game: The Challenge, which is their new problematic fave. Plus, NUO-LINGO is unlocked for the last 2 episodes and butch/femme songs of the week.</strong></p>
