P&P Live!: Jill Filipovic – OK Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind – in conversation with Baratunde Thurston

In OK Boomer, Let's Talk, journalist (and Millennial) Jill Filipovic tells the definitive story of her generation--and it's no joke. Talking to gig workers, economists, policy makers, and dozens of struggling Millennials drowning in debt on a planet quite literally in flames, Filipovic paints a shocking and nuanced portrait of a generation being left behind.

Filipovic shows that Millennials are not the avocado-toast-eating snowflakes of Boomer outrage fantasies. But they are the first American generation that will do worse than their parents. "OK, Boomer" isn't just a sarcastic dismissal--it's a recognition that Millennials are in crisis, and that Boomer voters, bankers, and policy makers are responsible.

Filipovic will be in conversation with Baratunde Thurston, an Emmy-nominated host who has worked for The Onion, produced for The Daily Show, and advised the Obama White House. He is also the creator and host of Live On Lockdown.
