Millennial Trash

By Rex Pham, Sonja Bistranin

Millennials have become the most talked about generation of today. Even with a flurry of stereotypes trying to label this diverse group of young adults, not every journey is the same. Hosts Sonja and Rex are both Millennials of different backgrounds, upbringings, and life experiences, but they're friends (and former co-workers). Millennial Trash is aimed at seeking relatable insight and stories shared by two different people who are nothing alike from the outside, but pretty similar at the core.
