The Slacker Factor ::: The Voice of Generation X: Podcasts, Blogs, World Domination » gender speak http://theslackerfactor.com Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:04:34 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 The Slacker Factor podcast and web space blossomed out of the collective frustrations of three East-coast-bred, corporately-employed friends who wanted to create a forum for discussion, expression, and learning. Wait…that sounds way too serious… The reality is we all hate the responsibilities of being adults, and wanted to get together to share random thoughts, listen to loud and curious music, and to have a few laughs. We want you to do the same, and to be a part of the slackerdom. Each podcast features the word and ideas of Generation X, as expressed by Christian Godbout, Robert LaFrance, and Patty Pino. Christian and Rob are veteran radio slackers and Rob continues to bring music to the masses as a professional DJ. Patty is a spoken-word performer, who, way back in the 80’s, made a living as a professional stand-up comedian. All of us met in the 90’s, when we bonded over beat-mixing and the Beastie Boys. Our voices express the angst of too-much-responsibility coupled with the never-ending search for all things less-than-mediocre. Thanks for listening to the podcasts, and checking out the web site.
