Generationally Speaking’ Podcast Explores How Different Generations Communicate and Connect
Communication specialist, speaker, and author Alastair Greener has launched a new podcast aimed at addressing one of today’s most significant societal challenges—bridging the gap between generations. The Generationally Speaking podcast provides valuable insights into how different age groups interact, highlighting the evolving nature of communication and its impact on business, relationships, and society as a whole.
A Podcast for Meaningful Intergenerational Conversations
Each episode of Generationally Speaking dives into thought-provoking discussions with guests from diverse professional and personal backgrounds. The focus is to uncover generational perspectives on various aspects of life, work, and technology while providing practical solutions to strengthen connections between age groups.
“I have always believed that communication plays a crucial role in creating understanding,” said Alastair Greener. “With Generation Beta arriving in 2025, the importance of intergenerational dialogue has never been more relevant. This podcast is about exploring different viewpoints, sharing experiences, and learning how we can communicate more effectively across generations.”
The podcast is designed for professionals, business leaders, educators, and anyone interested in how generational shifts impact communication. Whether it’s the workplace, family dynamics, or broader social interactions, Generationally Speaking aims to foster a deeper understanding of generational differences and similarities.
Insightful Discussions with Expert Guests
The first two episodes are already available on major streaming platforms and Greener’s website. In the debut episode, technology expert and BBC presenter Paul Carter shares his perspective on how attitudes toward technology have evolved across generations. He discusses his experiences with assistive technology and how younger generations are navigating artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital transformation.
The second episode features communication specialist Anthony Stears, known as “The Telephone Assassin.” He explores how phone communication has changed over time and how businesses can adapt to shifting generational preferences. From face-to-face conversations to digital messaging, the episode offers key insights into the evolving landscape of interpersonal communication.
Upcoming Topics and Guests
New episodes will be released bi-weekly, each covering relevant topics such as social media’s influence on different generations, working in multi-generational teams, and the effects of digitalisation on interpersonal relationships.
In an upcoming episode, communication expert Claudette Dawson will discuss the realities of living in a household with five generations under one roof. She will share personal stories and practical advice on how different generations can coexist harmoniously while respecting each other’s values and communication styles.
Listeners can also look forward to discussions on how businesses can benefit from a multi-generational workforce. Topics such as leadership in a diverse age group, mentoring across generations, and how companies can tailor their communication strategies to engage employees of all ages will be explored in depth.
“The ability to understand and connect with different generations is key to making the most of the opportunities ahead,” said Greener. Through this podcast, I hope to create a space where we can listen, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations that inspire real change.
By shedding light on these topics, Generationally Speaking aims to help individuals, businesses, and communities foster stronger connections.
