In 2016, Millennial joined Radiotopia, becoming the 14th show in the network. In August 2017, the show aired its final episode.[3] Tan explained her decision to end the podcast, saying it was turning into something different from what she envisioned at the start.[3]

Reception

The podcast has received positive reviews in several media outlets such as The Atlantic,[4] BuzzFeed,[5] The Guardian[1] and The Huffington Post.[6] In May 2015, Priya Elan wrote in The Guardian, "Millennial is a consistently engaging podcast. Tan's audio autobiography feels like an authentic study of the twenty-something condition in 2015; caught between an economic landslide and an uncemented sense of self".[1]
