I've been promoting other generational theory sites on Twitter, and figured I'd might as well start a thread here with links. Please add anything I might miss.
First up, I will just put in a link to Neil Howe's Lifecourse.com site. It's not updated much these days, but it has plenty of great background information, including the "official" dates of the generations and turnings. It also has a "Generations of American Leaders" searchable database of American political leaders.

Neil works as Director of Demography at the financial firm Hedgeye, and has a podcast, which hasn't had any content in a while, since he's working on the new book.

To access content that he produces for
Hedgeye, a subscription is required, though they do sometimes release freebies. The best way to get access would be to follow them on Twitter or subscribe to them by email.
Mike Hais and Morley Winograd were early adopters of the Millennial generation concept, and have co-authored a number of books about that generation. They have worked with Neil Howe in the past, though I'm not certain if they've done anything together recently.

David Kaiser's blog, which is heavily influenced by generations theory:
http://historyunfolding.blogspot.com/
He was a user on the old forum, but I'm not sure if he has joined this one.
Generational Talk channel on YouTube, hosted by Ryen Thomas and Darius Young, two 4T fans I know from the FB group. These are chats, usually about an hour long, with a variety of people, talking about current events or about life experiences thought the lens of social theories and generations. You may recognize some forum members in these videos.

The Generation Report, from Paul Zimmy Finn. Another YouTube channel, which he bills as a "podcast series." It focuses on Strauss & Howe generational theory and analyzing current events. He is definitely on board with this being a Fourth Turning. He is also very knowledgeable of the theory, and makes great, easy to understand videos. He is active on Twitter but nowhere else on the net that I know of.

David left the old forum in a bit of anger at being profiled, so to speak, by some of the more conservative members at the time. He also had a few dissenters on the left. In any case, he lef to set-up the inviataion only Facebook forum, and never appeared here at all.

Thanks, Eric. That's a Public group and we've been pretty open to accepting anyone as a member.
There are a couple of others FB groups that are Private, so I won't post links to them here.
Also, some of the other people/sites I'm linking too also have a Facebook presence. Meaning that if you're on Facebook, you could search for them and find their page.
You might also find them on Instagram, Twitter, or other social media.
Another interesting pattern I've noticed is that Strauss-Howe theory attracts a certain breed of male, usually Gen X, usually working in the finance sector. They all have these finance consulting companies, promoted via Twitter and/or YouTube, and at some point they have an interview or two with Neil Howe. I've included a few interviews here, but once you jump down the rabbit hole the algorithms should feed you more.
Real Vision Finance - interview with Ed Harrison
Wealthion - interview with Ted Oakley
Opto CMC - interview with Haydn Brain
Hedgeye - interview with Darius Dale. This, of course, is the company where Neil works so obviously they are fans.
Here's an interesting video by a random human on the Internet. But hey, that's what all of us are.
There are a couple of web sites I don't really want to link to, but I feel like this thread won't be complete without mentioning them. They are what you might call right-wing crank web sites, both run by Gen Xers I believe, I think maybe even the same people (?) They both reference The Fourth Turning. Warning: if you go to these sites you will bombarded with pop-up ads and foaming at the mouth conspiracy rants.

I think that pretty much exhausts my list of Strauss & Howe web bookmarks. If anyone has more interesting links, please post them.
I will add some more posts to this thread about sites that are related to a
generation if not to generational theory or generational cycles.
I'll also go ahead and post Pew's generational research page, even though their birth years are
wrong.

While some of the links are dated, the list is a great compendium of resources. Thanks!
This is a fascinating podcast idea; a look at post-war U.S. history (that is, the current saeculum) with a conscious appreciation of the living generations (well, Boomers and Millennials, anyway). It was created by a Millennial named Logan Rogers. So far it goes up to 1960 and the Kennedys.
From Boomers to Millennials: A Modern US History Podcast
https://boomerstomillennials.buzzsprout.com/
A modern U.S. history podcast about the events that spanned the Baby Boomer generation’s lifespan & that are still relevant to people today, especially to Millennials. Unlike some history podcasts, this podcast follows the national story in a chronological manner, starting in 1946. Most episodes are around a half-hour to 45 minutes in length. Each episode covers one year, possibly going all the way up to the present.
