Sibling Scars: Bad Blood Or Bad Parenting

Strangers With Kittens ·

2026/04/09

Consider yourself lucky if you don't have a scar or two that came from an older brother or your scrappy little sister. Sure, there were swirlies, and noogies, and yes, you can remember the way you would squirm to avoid the loogie stretching its way towards your face, but those aren't the only stories being shared on this episode. This week, Eileen dredges up the stories behind a lot of our scars and trauma. Gen X was feral and, in most cases, left to fend for themselves. Whether it's

Surviving Spring Break (in the 70s)

Strangers With Kittens ·

2026/03/26

The birds are singing, the weather is warming and even though it's been decades since you've had a true Spring Break Vacation, you continue to yearn for those blissful spring days. There's swimming in sub-zero lagoons. Water slides made of concrete. A freshwater wave pool that kills. Your best friend had to leave earlier in an ambulance, and no one is even talking about the baboons on the lawn! Not the spring break you remember? We wish it was a fever dream, but it was 100% real if

Did We Really Love The 90s?

Strangers With Kittens ·

2026/03/20

Did we really LOVE the 90s or should we all take off our rose-tinted glasses?Remember when the only way to get ahold of someone who wasn't right next to you was through a landline? Maybe they had a pager. The music was loud, you saw movies at the theater, or 8 months later when you rented them from Blockbuster. New York was gritty and raw. Sexism and misogyny were the cultural norms and even though we were on our own, we experienced life unfiltered.Join Eileen and special guest Carey Reilly as

Generation X-Hausted

Strangers With Kittens ·

2026/03/12

Generation X has been called a lot of things. Cynical. Slackers. We might be cynical, but that's because we got shafted on so many levels. We parented ourselves. We were responsible for ourselves. We became the ones who carried the burden of the environment. We were held responsible for so many people and problems that were not our problems to solve. After decades of aching for change. It's safe to say we are exhausted. Support the showStrangers With Kittens is a podcast created by Eileen

From Bullies To Billionaires

The bullies have become the billionaires.
