Gen XYZ: Recent Episodes
Mekelle Mills
Does being related to someone mean you automatically have the same world views and beliefs? Or does the generational gap influence more than we realise? Mekelle and her Mum Penny get together to speak their deepest truths and share their generation's takes on all the hot topics.
In this week's episode we find out that Penny invented Post-Its!

Get ready for a delicious mixed bag of lollies as Penny and Mekelle talk a heck of a lot about not alot and have a bloody good time doing it.
Thanks to Penny being away living her best and busiest life, the two struggled to get together to record an entire episode in time but didn’t want to miss another week. So decided to get together to catch up, have a chat and have a laugh.
They also manage to slip in that this is the second last episode of the season, so it's probably a good idea to have a listen.
You'll hear Penny talk a lot about food and spirituality.
And you'll hear Mekelle also talk a lot about food. And the Oscars.
Click play and treat yourself to a mixed bag.
Love ya guts!
