Xennial Dilemmas - XD Podcast

by Rocky Rivera and DJ Roza

Two “Analog Girls in a Digital World,” Rocky and Roza bring their backgrounds in print journalism and vinyl DJing, respectively, to humorous commentary on breaking news, listener questions, and conversations about their favorite hip hop and R&B from the '90s and 2000s. The podcast explores pop culture through the xennial perspective—a micro-generation of Gen Xers and Millennials born between 1977 and 1983 who experienced childhood before the internet. With a casual, conversational style, Rocky and Roza share progressive, feminist, and pro-people perspectives that are rarely found in the podcast world.
