In the debut episode of Midlife Young, father and daughter—Class of 1996 and Class of 2026—kick off their podcast journey by celebrating “firsts.” From record players and CD players to after-school dance classes and janitor gigs, they swap stories about growing up in totally different eras. The conversation is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and playful comparisons: think dial-up internet vs. WiFi, Blockbuster vs. Netflix, and the mystery of cursive handwriting.

They dive into classic topics like first jobs, prom traditions, and the evolution of technology—from pagers and payphones to smartphones and streaming. Along the way, you’ll hear about quirky family moments, favorite hangout spots, and how some things (like prom night) never really change. Whether you’re a child of the ’90s or a Gen Z’er, this episode is a fun, relatable look at what connects us across generations.

Tune in for a light-hearted, family-friendly chat that’s equal parts nostalgic and fresh—and don’t miss the future episodes as the conversation continues!
