To continue our conversation about Generation X and the culture they grew up with, host Brian Mackey took a trip to the Illinois State Museum in Springfield to visit its exhibit "Growing Up X." The exhibit has now moved to the ISM's Lockport Gallery and will be open there through May 2014.

This conversation originally aired Feb. 16, 2023.
