In 2012, when Lena Dunham’s “Girls” aired on HBO, the voice of the millennial generation arrived. Funny, awkward, selfish, and unaware, “Girls” became a critical darling and the darling object of criticism. It’s impossible not to have a stance on this show, and Danielle and Jess are going to dig into it. We’re here to discuss the dream, one episode at a time. Seen it, missed it, love it, or hate it, “Voice of a Generation” will have everyone talking again.

Between the Tweets: Part 3 - CW: pedophilia, fatphobia, mass violence, Islamophobia It's a mini, but a longie? August 2012 started off intense and kept going. There's some funny stuff, some dark stuff, and you know Dunham is being her damn self. Buckle up y'all!
LADIES & NOT LADIES! We're back! Season 2 premiere! Jess and Danielle are back discussing the hit comedy "Girls" - the difficulties of adulting, city living, and being a follower of Lena Dunham's Twitter. The girls are joined by comedian/director/podcaster Ryan Stevens (co-host of "Nation of Animation", who is our Elijah, aka the Hero of the Episode, for riding through some mad tech and scheduling issues).The anticipation for "Girls" was huge, and the return for season 2 was no exception; and then it was "meh?". Jobs are lost, relationships are falling a part, and Donald Glover is a Republican??? All will be discussed this week!This podcast is a part of Audio Mint.

Ladies, the hits keep coming! July 2012 was spicy for Dunham's Twitter. Please enjoy the soothing sounds of Danielle's dogs in the background as she and Jess discuss recorders, fetishizing queer folx and other problematic things, and the Tosh 2012 controversy. CW/TW: There are lots of jokes from Dunham that are pedophilic (unsurprisingly) and discussion of rape jokes. We hope despite some of the darker stuff, you still enjoy listening while folding your laundry!
Wow how long as it been…? How many tweets? How many awkward sex scenes? In case you were wondering what you may have missed in Season 1 - no sweat! We recapped the whole season for you!
Join Jess and Danielle in digging through the archive of tweets from Lena Dunham in between seasons 1 and 2 of her hit-show “Girls”! July 2012 - Part 1

Girls, can you believe it?! It’s the season finale and we got a BIG episode for you! We’re joined by friend and sommelier, Katherine Sturgill, who is our first convert to the show! She’s watched and listened along to all of season 1, so what better way to wrap up the season? This episode is great and wild, tying up so many plotlines, bringing everyone together, and has legit some of the funniest lines in the season. We’re getting into party fashion, the relationships beginning and ending, the majesty of Dunham’s Twitter archive, and some Very Special Episode Announcements. Kermit, one of Danielle’s dogs, also makes an appearance running around and chasing his tail, so enjoy that background noise. A huge thank you to all y’all who have listened, recommended, reviewed, and rated the pod! Enjoy the season finale!"This podcast is a part of Audio Mint.

Damn girls, we are winding down and almost done with season 1! This week, we’re joined by friend and scholar M Vanderpoel (who introduced us)! There’s a lot to get into: Jenny Slate playing a character possibly more shitty than Mona Lisa Saperstein, creepy professors & creepy crushes, Freduian dreams, and the self sabotage of Hannah. This episode in so many ways is about avoidance and we’re confronting it head on! (also please note, this is a Venture-Capitalist-Free-Zone, because Danielle has thus declared)"This podcast is a part of Audio Mint.

Love is in the air and it’s weirdddd (Danielle’s got a lot of heavy sighs). This week, we’re joined by comedian Carolyn Beatty, who gives a terrific Dramatic Reading. We’re getting into Adam Driver, what is and is not good theatre, the subversive nature of mashups, matching long johns, and the anti-fatness we see throughout the show and Dunham’s tweets.

Hannah is back in New York, broke as hell, but ready to party. The girls head to a warehouse party where “all of Brooklyn and a third of Manhattan” will be and it’s as chaotic and perfect as you’d expect! We’re joined by Jennie Carr, who encouraged Jess to watch “Girls” wayyyy back in the day. The fashion is business casual, Marnie’s a pill, exes abound, and Shoshanna has an absolute TRIP, that leaves us wondering where she ended up. Grab some wine in a plastic cup and let’s rock!"This podcast is a part of Audio Mint. If you want to follow us, check us out on Instagram(@audiomintchi) or on Facebook, at Audio Mint.

Midwest is best in our episode this week! We’re joined by comedian and nurse, Drew Thomas, a fellow Midwesterner, in our first episode outside of NYC. Hannah returns home to Michigan for a visit to celebrate her parents’ anniversary and takes a trip down memory lane. We’re talking about the arrested development when you’re home with your family, eating while standing in front of an open fridge, bad dancing, and ranch on pizza. This show is a part of Audio Mint.

This week, we are joined by our first Zennial, Molly Tephra! Molly is closer to the Girls than Jess and Danielle (aging gracefully, don’t worry!), so we’re talking about how relatable the girls really are. In this episode, we’ve got a time jump, lots of hot fashion, and the absolutely unreal cringe of “doing it for the story”. The Girls are really bringing us their worst this week, so we brought one of our best!This show is a part of Audio Mint.

To discuss one of this season's most plot-point-packed episodes, we're joined by Travis Kasje, who has never seen this show before. So much happens in episode 4, and yet we're bored out of our minds. We're talking really gross men, the first speaking POC characters, if Jessa knows what her job even is, and whether or not Hannah's makeover is working. Also bonus: we see Charlie's “band” perform, so actually...maybe it's the best episode yet?This show is a part of Audio Mint.

This week, we have our very own NYU Galley Girl, art historian and pop culture maven Alicia Caticha! We’re talking Snuggies, the trauma of revisiting our younger selves, Virgo energy, and which of the “Girls” we are most like. (also sorry for the sound! Recording from home is weird and we’re doing our best!)
We’re absolutely delighted this week to have the inspiration for the podcast, this week’s guest Taylor DeLano (so if you hate it, you can blame her). We’re here to talk fashion, sad millennial sex and “making love”, learning sex ed from Google, and whether or not we’re “The Ladies”.
In the pilot, we dust off those cobwebs from 2012 and plunge into the first episode of HBO'S 'Girls.’ Our guest this week, Justin Borak, helps us break down every point that made us laugh, cringe, cry, and cringe some more. Stick around until the end when we go back to read Lena Dunham's actual tweets from the week the episode first aired. Now, with no further introduction (we forgot, ok?) We present to you, Voice Of A Generation’s Pilot.Join us next time! Email: voiceofagenerationpodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @voiceofagenpodTwitter: @VoiceOfAGenPod
