Etch-A Sketch, Mr. Potato Head, Chatty Cathy, Matchbox Cars - a podcast by Smitty, Mike, and The Galaxy Gang

Remember the Etch-A Sketch, Mr. Potato Head, Chatty Cathy, Matchbox Cars, and other toys of the past? Ian Rose remembers many of the favorite and most fondly remembered toys of the Baby Boomer era. Many of these toys are now iconic, and Ian has a great list of toys that you will remember or have heard of. Mike talks to us about Wham-O, who manufactured such toys as the Frisbee, the Hula-Hoop, and the Slip and Slide. Mike has memories of these and a few more toys made by this company. Smitty has news of a recently discovered 1959 NBC video tape of "Meet Cyd Charisse". This early color video tape, highlighting the musical talents of Cyd Charisse, Eve Arden, and Tony Martin is in pristine original condition. Early color video tapes such as this are very rare, and it's always a cause for excitement when a new one has been found. Our Retro-Commercial is a fun Kool-Aid jingle. Join us on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site!
