OUR INAUGURAL EPISODE! We're talking about birthdays and long-term marriages and sharing a bed and the circle of hell that is navigating health insurance and this stupid f*cking war and men in charge wearing too-small shoes and parenting teens through the darkness. Plus: Smoking is back, so is cocaine and, apparently, Costco is the only thing currently working in the U.S. of A.

CULTURE. CREATIVITY. POLITICS. WORK. MONEY. RELATIONSHIPS. FRIENDSHIPS. DATING. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Are you a woman just trying to live in this world? Do you often whisper to yourself “what the hell is going on?" Are you a bitch in the streets but a compulsive crier in the sheets? Do you like to laugh?

Well, you’ve come to the right place. HELLO.

Hosted by GenX writers Jennifer Romolini and Kimberly Harrington, No Country For Old Women is a podcast about what it's like to be alive in these times. Each week, we'll be processing the world in the only way we know how — through chaotic yap sessions where we’ll think and overthink, and talk about everything and nothing.

Join us, won't you?
