The Baby Boomer Radio, TV, Movies, Magazines, Music, Comics, Fads, Toys, Fun, and More Show!

Radio, TV and movie buffs talk about the Golden Age of Commercial Communication, including segments on old-time technology, radio/TV personalities, pre-Internet and Cable news, American pop history, collectibles and collecting, and much more. Each episode presents American Pop Culture, family trends, products, notables and celebrities that, to this day, signifies they the rite of passage for those born between 1946 and 1964. Our hosts, guests hosts and historians weave a rich tapestry from archives, as well as first-hand memories of the people that lived the growing years of the Baby Boomer Generation. Each episode also profiles the collectibility and value of items that listeners find in attics, old boxes, and garage sales. Our listening community is not limited to Baby Boomers. We have young people who love Big Band and Swing, we have older listeners who check in to talk about the Great Depression. We have WWII veterans, as well as Viet Nam era draft dodgers. All come together to share, or simply listen to an America long past. Since its inception in 2009, Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site is the spark to the neurotransmitters of the brain that bring forth memories that many of us thought we had long forgotten. Relive those memories once again, with Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site!
