  • Episode 116 with Justice Smith, Daniel Barnz and Zelda Barnz
    Aug 5 2021
    Remember a lifetime ago when you hadn’t yet fallen in love with Chester? He was stripping off his glittery rainbow micro crop top in the middle of campus. Do you remember Chester’s spiritual ascent in Episode 8 when his water polo teammates had their Magic Mike moment? And remember how it was Chester’s own patented brand of A LOT-ness served back to him that made him crack a smile and then start voguing topless? In the first moments of the season 1 finale, Chester is dancing on a pole in a party bus. And by the end of the episode, he’s stripped barer than ever before — confronted with himself in an entirely new way. After a whole season of Generation, it’s not only Chester who has evolved. So has the actor who portrays him, Justice Smith. He discusses how on the sixteenth and final (for now!) installment of Generation: The Podcast with hosts Gigi Goode & Whembley Sewell, and Generation co-creators Zelda & Daniel Barnz. It’s a little sappy, it’s deep, and Daniel almost divulges who Chester greets in that gripping final scene (just kidding — he tells us why it’s so top secret.)

  • Episode 115 with Chloe East, Uly Schlesinger, and Zelda Barnz
    Jul 29 2021
    The penultimate episode of the first season of Generation traverses many places the series has yet to go: inside a Dad brain, to the brink of throuple disaster, and straight into the unfiltered root of conflict between iconic besties Nathan & Riley. Oh, and Paris. There’s artifice, betrayal, and more camera metaphors. For such a special layered episode, we bring you a special guest pairing: The Twins — Chloe East and Uly Schlesinger, iconic on-camera sibs Nathan & Naomi. They join hosts Whembley Sewell & Gigi Goode, as well as our astute in-house Generation expert, the show’s creator, Zelda Barnz, for the second-to-last episode of Generation: The Podcast.

  • Episode 114 with Chase Sui Wonders, Sharr White and Zelda Barnz
    Jul 22 2021
    You may have noticed that The Riley Episode is different from every other episode of Generation. It’s intensely focused on Riley’s subjectivity, and as her 24 hours without sleep unfurl, you fully descend into her blurred reality. This was the result of deep collaboration between Chase Sui Wonders, who plays Riley, and the writers, including Generation co-creator Zelda Barnz and Sharr White, who co-wrote this episode. These three join hosts Gigi Goode & Whembley Sewell on the fourteenth episode of Generation: The Podcast to share some of the juiciest BTS moments from the season and talk intuitive shooting, self-excavation and how they got that iconic Riley line: “didn’t anyone ever tell you not to get in the car with strange girls!?” Plus: how to talk about mental health without talking about mental health, unpacking Megan’s successful mothering moment, and of course, Griley analysis with the biggest stan in the game.
