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. Some episodes profile 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.

  • Car Memories!

    Car Memories!
    Mar 12 2024
    It's all about car memories! Galaxy Good Guy Tom Dulaney joins us as we remember fad, fun, and muscle cars of the 1960's and 1970s. Tom's expertise sizes up many of that time period's fad cars, like the Chevrolet Vega, AMC Pacer, Volkswagen Beetle, and other memorable compact and economy cars. Our discussion of Pontiac GTOs and big block Chevys and Fords may race across your memories, bringing back the smell of burning tire rubber and twenty-nine cent Hi-Test gasoline. We discuss the evolution of today's electric cars, and remind show listeners that non-gasoline powered vehicles go back to the early 20th century! Who out there recalls the childhood thrill of taking to the road in the family station wagon or large sedan, back in a time of cheap gas and gas guzzlers? Order a burger, fries, and a triple thick milkshake, then hop into your cruiser and join us on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network https://bit.ly/MuscleCarsFadCars

  • Where Will it All Go, When We Go?

    Where Will it All Go, When We Go?
    Jan 24 2024
    Where will our stuff go when we go? That's a question many of us who have collections or items we care about have asked ourselves at one time or another. What will happen to our items once we pass away? On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, we look to Galaxy Good Guy, Mike Bryant . As a long-time collector of vintage bottles and other collectible items, Mike has seen instances where the passing of a person who owned jewelry, collectibles, and family heirlooms have ended with either a peaceful settlement or a feud within a family. In many cases, a amicable settlement depended on what preparations and arrangements had been previously made. Mike's insight and experiences over the years sheds light on a topic that can be quite daunting. Fortunately, there are things we can do to minimize misunderstandings or hurt feelings, once we are gone. In addition, we discuss what's hot and what's not as far as present day collectibles. A most enlightening and informative show for everyone, especially those of us who are collectors. Our Retro-Commercials are memorable musical ones for the 1966 Chevrolet, and Mallory Duracell Batteries. Join us on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network! Click here: https://bit.ly/BabyBoomerCollectibles

  • "A Little Dab'll Do Ya", and Christmastime with Ian Rose

    "A Little Dab'll Do Ya", and Christmastime with Ian Rose
    Dec 21 2023

    It's Christmastime here at Galaxy Nostalgia Network! On this program, we remember our friend Ian Rose (pictured), who passed away in 2014. As one of the original Galaxy Guys, Ian joined us at the start of our radio shows and podcasts almost 14 years ago. Today's show is an encore presentation of Program 33, from 2010: Ian and Smitty recall "A Charlie Brown Christmas", while Mike B. remembers "Greasy Kid Stuff": those pomades, tonics and hair care products that were popular with guys in the 1950s-1960s. Additionally, Ian recalls radio station automation, something he witnessed first hand in his early years as a radio broadcaster and traffic reporter. Our Retro-Commercial is a memorable one for Cracker Jack, the candy-coated popcorn snack.
    Our crew of Galaxy Good Guys and Good Gals wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year. We'll be back in 2024 with more golden memories of the Baby Boomer years, here at the multi-award winning Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network. https://bit.ly/3tvZ1iT
