Episode #12×01: Communal Experiences Offered Core Memories, So Where’d They Go?

Support #Millennial!

We’re back from the holidays with fresh stories, fresh takes, and a little chaos. Andrew revisits ‘Heated Rivalry’ now that it’s fully shifted from steamy to surprisingly heartfelt, and Laura checks in on Venezuela with some uneasy historical déjà vu. Then we dig into what we’ve lost (and maybe found again) when it comes to communal millennial experiences, before asking our Patrons to give us their top hacks for finding cheap communal experiences in our cities. Our listeners came through! Art collectives, silent book clubs, run clubs, and parent groups are just a few of the examples that are inspiring us in the new year!

We’ve (of course) got some top recs for y’all to kick off 2026: ‘Heated Rivalry’ on HBO Max (Andrew), ‘Heretic’ on HBO Max (Laura), and vision boarding to set intentions for 2026 (Pam).

And in this week’s installment of After Dark:

Andrew gets into some crusin’ stories that are too hot for the main show – including a full account of what he purchased in Mexico. 👀 And we hear some holiday updates from the panel that are reserved just for Patrons!
