Megan Tan is the host and creator of Millennial. It was first launched in 2015, and since then it has been picked up by Radiotopia and profiled by The Guardian. Her podcast is recommended by The Guardian, BuzzFeed, Refinery29, The Huffington Post, The Atlantic, and A.V Club.
On her podcast, Tan discusses her postgraduate life and how she rises above her inner struggle- finding what makes her happy. In each episode, she narrates the process in making her project to a full-time job. The podcast is intended to guide millennials as they learn how to take their own path of happiness and success. As Tan details her route to success, her message to her audience is to live their life without fear and commit to their dream.
While Millennial began to receive recognition, she landed a job at Public Radio, but kept Millennial “as a place of joy and fulfillment.” Yet, Millennial grew more and got a bigger audience with more sponsors. Her website allows anyone to Donate and/or become a sponsor. Audience is able to subscribe through iTunes, PRX, SoundCloud, Stitcher, tunein, and Spotify.
Over the years, Millennial has expanded and gotten more attention. It has a little over 4 stars with mixed waves. Some of the audience claims Millennial is “embarrassing” or “disappointing,” while others believe it is “perfectly raw.” This isn’t a podcast one can start listening to on any episode. To grasp the whole experience, and truly understand the message, the best episode to start with would be the first episode.
