The New Midlife Crisis
The episode on The New Midlife Crisis just made my morning, which happens to be my 47th birthday! I woke up to my kids and spouse singing me happy birthday with a candle in a cupcake while I was still in bed. After feeding the kids yogurt with honey and bananas, getting them dressed for their final days of school, my wife loaded them in our new minivan and sped away. I was left with the rest of the morning to myself and was delighted to spend part of it listening to Naomi, Vinson, and Alexandra critique middle age. I’ve never known whether I’m a younger gen Xer or an older Millennial. But my midlife thoughts include regrets of not having more people in my life who converse about art and culture like the “critics.” I am jealous of the work they do and the relationships they appear to share with each other. But this show, and this episode in particular, helps fill that gap. What a gift, thank you!

These three, however, tiresomely fake bemoan the fact that they just can’t seem to stop being yanked around by the nose by social media. If you need further confirmation of what the...Read full review »
