Strangers With Kittens: Gen X Stories from the Least Parented Generation.

Eileen Kelly

Welcome to Strangers With Kittens, the ultimate Gen X comedy podcast celebrating the least parented generation in history. We might have been labeled the "slacker" generation, but we somehow raised ourselves, parented our kids, and are taking care of our aging parents. Hosted by Eileen Kelly, this Society & Culture show brings you unfiltered comedy interviews and raw storytelling. We dive deep into childhood trauma, midlife crisis moments, relational struggles, and the dark humor required to survive the 70s, 80s, 90s and modern adulthood. Laugh through the breakdowns, toxic family dynamics, and chaotic memories. It's time to finally give credit where credit is due—here’s to Generation X-CELLENT!
