Josh Downing is launching a new podcast all about his musical youth! Take a ride down the post-punk, new wave, new romantic, indie pop memory roller coaster of 70-90's music that Josh grew up with. This new gen x journey is loaded with discussion on hair, music, clubs, clothes and dancing!
Join your host, Josh Downing every Saturday morning bright and early as he talks with guests about the Pop Culture of the Generation X. They'll chat about childhood memories of toys and cartoons, cereal and comics and just about anything else that happened in the 70's and 80's.

You can also find Yabba! Zonkers! Zoinks! on Facebook, Instagram and now you can join the conversation on Speak Pipe.
Josh is a Torontonian that grew up on the West Coast in the suburbs of Vancouver, B.C.
Saturday mornings were jam packed with Honeycombs, Shreddies, Speed Racer, Marine Boy, Superfriends and Micronauts. Then it was outside to play hide n' seek, tag or ride bikes until sunset. This Gen X'er also started his toy collection with Hot Wheels, Barbies, Big Jim and Tonka trucks.
More recently Josh returned to local theatre as a playwright and directer with 3 Fringe productions of his work and even hit the stage as an actor a couple of times. Now he's picked up a microphone to share memories and stories with friends about their Gen X childhood and all the awesomeness that came with it. So stay tuned, subscribe, join in the conversation and have a laugh as Josh and guests bring some sparkle back to the Saturday morning experience.
