Oh the trials and tribulations of slowly & hilariously falling apart – tennis elbow minus the tennis, gray hair down there, late-stage trypophobia... In addition to our creeping decrepitude, Jen discovers that the young'uns are watching The Sopranos, Kim shares a terrifying beauty technique called vampire facials, and Camilo imagines a future where deepfakes are commonplace.

Our first guest ever on Halfway There is artist, director, writer, drag icon extraordinaire Peaches Christ nee Joshua Grannell! We thought of no better inaugural guest to probe the reality of what it means to be a Gen X creator in the age of social media, cancellation and content overload. We discuss what it means to evolve with the times, how a drag persona ages (or do they?), the commodification of the underground, and how nostalgia functions in our lives. A rollicking conversation with one of the smartest and most funny and wickedly creative minds we know. Please donate to our Patreon for cool extras!!! https://www.patreon.com/halfwaytherethepodcast.

Did you know that Gen X is short for Generation Sex? Well, it wasn't but now it is. Lots of sexy chat in this episode – are people doing it or not doing it during the pandemic, is sex work sex positive or not? Things get HOT – well, heated – in this week's episode, where we also ponder living in underwater cities in the future. Lots of terrible puns & jokes as usual, we know you love them.

Hey, do you litter? Then, like, get your shit together and, like, don't? We discuss this awful scourge that plagues both land and sea, then Kim talks about the kids (Gen Z) not being alright, as in, depressed. But it's not all bad news from Gen Z, Camilo discovers some of their awesome health tips, such as sticking garlic in your nose! Jen takes us beneath the earth into the apocalypse bunkers of the uber-wealthy. Check the Zillow listings, everyone!

We heard that s-e-x sells so we’ve packed this episode with talk about it. Are you excited about the prospect of future tech ‘upgrading’ the sexual experience? Kim’s not judging! Camilo is surprised to discover that a sizeable chunk of Gen Z reserves the right to change their gender identity in the future, and Jen slathers us with info on ‘miracle’ skin creams containing retinol. There’s plenty more so listen for the chuckles! Please donate to our Patreon for cool extras!!! https://www.patreon.com/halfwaytherethepodcast. Episode cringe factor: 9.4/11

We're Straight Up Cold Hearted Snake(s) today, with no patience for toxic masculinity or reality TV women who can't manage the most basic tasks in the wilderness. Jen is feeling the love for China's Xi Jinping and his nearly complete ban of online videogames for minors, Kim sheds light on the multi-billion-dollar world of men's makeup, and Camilo has to leave early but breathlessly discusses the promise and terror of neural links.

If you gifted a lottery ticket someone and they hit it big, would you expect a piece of the winnings? We have a funny & heated debate about this, with one of us being particularly greedy – listen to find out who! Also, Kim tells us how Gen Z is more sexually fluid than any other previous generation (including ours!), Camilo wants to know if you'd wear a magnetized mouth clamp to lose weight, and Jen mulls the future of college as many millennials are extremely saddled with debt. Are there laughs to be had? Heck yeah! Cringe Factor: 4.8/11. Please donate to our Patreon for cool extras!!! https://www.patreon.com/halfwaytherethepodcast

Wow, this one includes a really long-ranging convo about how Gen Z perceives seemingly innocuous emojis as weapons of social destruction! Jen showers us (he he) with stories of celebrities who refuse to bathe and Kim considers a future where humans are all augmented (also he he). It's all mostly dumb and very funny!
