About the show
The Millennial Sandwich is a podcast for the generation raising kids while watching their parents age. Hosted by geriatrician Dr. Anita Chandra and parenting journalist Zara Hanawalt, it explores what it means to be part of the sandwich generation: caring for aging parents, navigating motherhood, and trying to make room for your own life, too. Through honest conversations with experts and people living it, we talk about caregiving, family, friendship, and the questions no one prepared us to answer. For the generation holding it all together.
