Tentang podcast ini
The CommonX Podcast is a Gen-X media platform built for listeners who are done with manufactured narratives and shallow debates. Hosted by Jared Mayzak and Ian Primmer, CommonX explores music, culture, identity, work, resilience, and the systems that shape everyday life—through long-form conversations with people who’ve actually lived it.
Past guests include Ivan Doroschuk (Men Without Hats), Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot), veterans, creators, entrepreneurs, and small-town innovators —voices rarely heard but deeply felt. Balanced. Independent. Human.
