Who Do We Think We Are? Gen X Gets a DNA Test

So why ARE Gen Xers suddenly obsessed with their roots? Just in time for Mother’s Day, we’re falling headfirst into the rabbit hole of family history (because apparently we're finally old enough to care.) We’re talking dusty records, surprise relatives, and the occasional “Wait… what?” moment, joined by a GenX guest who’s wayyyyy deep into the genealogy weeds too.

Listen in to a kick ass episode that’s part scavenger hunt, part identity crisis, and 100% curiosity (because after genealogy found the Golden State killer, what else can it uncover?)
