Inter-generational Conversations On Issues of Our Time
Our Story:
It all began with a question: “Why does Grandpa always talk deep?” The question was posed by Emily to her parents one summer day on the beach in Lewes, Delaware. Now, we’ve begun a podcast in which we “talk deep” to explore important issues of our time.
Our goal is to explore important issues of today from different generational perspectives. Grandpa, born in 1945, and Emily, born in 2003, will discuss issues from the perspectives of just-before-baby boomers and Gen Z, respectively, discussing what’s happened then, now, and everything in between.
