Here is the next episode of our 3rd format of the show that we call: Who Will Save Generation X: Challenging Stage. We have created this mini-game format to meet the needs of those who have asked for it. Give it a listen and let us know what you think on our website "Answering Machine" feature. In the bottom left corner of the website there is a blue microphone icon. Just tap on that and leave us a message. It’s free to use and your voice might be used on an upcoming episode of the show. We want to hear from you no matter what you have to say, but we are looking for YOU to ask us some GenX trivia questions that we can feature on upcoming shows. So, let's hear what you have to say. :)
In this episode of the Challenging Stage we play in round 1 a game called “Second Guessing”, round 2 is our spotlight trivia round on the topic of "The Naked Gun", and we welcome guest-host Laurie of "Accelerated Culture Podcast" (https://acceleratedculturepodcast.com/), to take over the Captain's Chair in round 3 for some trivia questions featuring trivia on the movie "Hackers".
There is something here for everyone that we hope you'll "especially like".

Episode 72: INXS’ “Welcome to Wherever You Are” (1992)
In this episode, we explore INXS’s bold and underrated 1992 release, “Welcome to Wherever You Are.” Coming off the massive global success of the X Factor tour, the band took a creative left turn, trading glossy arena rock for experimental sounds, orchestral touches, and a rawer edge. From the sultry beauty of “Not Enough Time” to the sweetness of “Beautiful Girl,” we’ll explore how this album captured a band at the peak of their confidence, willing to reinvent themselves while still delivering the hooks that made them international icons.

Episode 71: Stereo MCs’ “Connected” (1992)
Scott Free and Laurie dig into a record that you may not even know you know. Don’t let the band’s name fool you: the Stereo MCs weren’t just another English hip-hop act. Bringing together elements of funk, soul, rap, and acid jazz, this album is full of dance-floor bangers and chillout-room grooves. A deeply underrated record (and one of Scott’s low-key favorites), “Connected” is far more than its smash-hit title track.

This week we give the Accelerated Culture treatment to “Hormonally Yours,” the 1992 genre-bending gem by Shakespears Sister. In this track-by-track exploration, we dive into the theatrical pop, gothic glam, and bittersweet balladry that define Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit’s second album. From the cosmic melancholy of “Stay” to the sly humor of “Are We in Love Yet,” we unpack the record’s dramatic flair, lush production, and unapologetically weird charm, proving once again that the ’90s had room for the bold and the beautifully strange.
