And we’re here to share our stories, along with our greatest challenges and wins, along the way. Millennial podcast is about journeying through young adulthood together.Millennial Politics & Government Social Sciences

    Why People Are Obsessed with LawTube, and Age Limits on Presidents

With cases against Sean "Diddy" Combs and Karen Read underway, public interest in these kinds of high profile trials is at an all-time high. So we explore LawTube’s crossover with true crime fandom, the appeal of watching legal commentary for entertainment, and whether these influencers are trustworthy sources. Plus, we talk about CNN’s Jake Tapper dropping his new book Original Sin, which claims there was a coordinated cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline—just days before Biden revealed a serious prostate cancer diagnosis. We discuss the ethics and timing of the book’s release, what it says about modern presidential politics, and how the Democratic Party is grappling with these revelations. As always, we've got you covered with our best recommendations: Flasks that look like every day products (Andrew), "Mickey 17" on HBO Max (Laura), Vacation Classic SPF 2-pack (Pam), and Fall Guys (John). And in this week's installment of After Dark, we're revisiting our siblings conversation from a couple of weeks ago to talk about whether or not we're friends with our siblings. Should siblings be besties, and can they get closer in different phases of life? Head over to our Patreon to check it out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Alcohol Consumption Is Falling (But Not 'Cause of Us)

    Alcohol Consumption Is Falling (But Not 'Cause of Us)

We're being thirst trapped by some of the most awe-inspiring US National Parks. No flight because your summer vacay routing through Newark airport got canceled since we don't have enough air traffic controllers? Consider visiting a national park instead! We talk about the surprisingly wholesome upside of National Parks getting a ton of extra attention, especially in light of proposed budget cuts. PLUS: if you have a disability, including ADHD, you may qualify for a free National Parks all-access pass for life! Also on tap: have we officially hit peak booze? With per capita alcohol consumption at its lowest since the 1960s and non-alcoholic beer sales booming, we unpack what’s driving the shift—and whether we’re all drinking less (or more) than we think. And of course, we name our contenders for this year’s Drink of the Summer (spoiler: mezcal and G&Ts are having a moment). As always, we never let an opportunity to give recommendations pass us by: Corona Sun Brew (Andrew), establishing a good "transition routine" for all the WFH girlies (Laura), and 'The Studio' on Apple TV+ (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: What is it with younger siblings? As older siblings, we discuss some eerie similarities between our younger siblings, and complain about why it always falls on the older siblings to know EVERYTHING! Let us know if you relate!

When EXACTLY will prices increase and availability drop? We have new reporting that reveals the timeline. If store shelves still look full for now, that’s because products are still making their slow journey across the Pacific—but the ripple effects are just beginning. We also feature a ton of great listener feedback this week, from a slew of Confessionals (#tellusyoursecrets), to follow ups on our recent fitness and "mini retirement" conversations on the show. And you know we'd never leave you without recommendations: Figo pet insurance (Andrew) and the latest season of 'Black Mirror' on Netflix (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark, we opened up the floor to Patrons to ask us their most burning questions about MuggleSuck, being child-free by choice, as well as some personal anecdotes that we can only share behind the paywall...
