New Gen Tech, just launched with co-hosts Christian Mudgett and Danny
Holland leading the way. As Millenials themselves, they aim to crack

form and function and show how it relates to our constantly evolving
lives.." This show isn't just for Millenials, its for anyone who wants
to KNOW the Millenial mind inside and out.
