Who we are
CommonX is a Gen-X-powered show hosted by Jared Mayzak & Ian Primmer. We bring musicians, makers, oddballs, scholars, and everyday people together for real conversation—no hot-take hamster wheel. If you grew up on mixtapes, liner notes, and late-night radio, you’ll feel right at home.
Our promise: honest questions, good vibes, and zero gotchas.
What we do
Long-form interviews with artists, iconoclasts, and experts
Music & culture deep dives (with plenty of Gen-X nostalgia)
Real-life topics: work, family, wellness, creativity, and purpose
Meet your hosts
Jared Mayzak — Co-founder & co-host. A straight-shooter with a soft spot for smart debate and practical wisdom. Jared keeps the convo grounded and the BS meter calibrated.
Ian Primmer (“GENXDAD”) — Co-founder & co-host. Part storyteller, part hype-man for the underdog. Ian brings the clips, the energy, and the big heart that powers CommonX.
Why “CommonX”?
We’re Gen-X kids who still believe a good song and a good story can pull people together. The “X” is our era—and also the crossroads where different perspectives meet.
