Our Story
Boomer Nation!was the first, and is still one of the only broadcast radio shows in the nation of its kind: for and about the Baby Boomer generation; informative, inspirational, and entertaining.
It's designed to get Boomers once again using their tremendous influence to make the world safer, healthier, and egalitarian, as they did in their youth. To do that, though, they must first feel healthier, safer, happier, and therefore less fearful themselves.
So, the show gives them all the information and inspiration they need to "live, work, and play at their Boomer-best"; it puts national events/issues into a perspective to which the generation can relate; it gets them laughing (mostly at themselves to help keep life in perspective); and provides both the inspiration and methods to make the changes our country and the world so needs, that only this powerful generation can accomplish.
Boomers love it, and businesses wanting to target this lucrative market can reach them directly through this show, but, only if the host, a nationally known Boomer Expert and proud Boomer, has determined that product of service "Boomer-worthy" e.g. it's something she would use herself.
The Impact
For Boomers and other generations, the impact is great. A generation of this size and power (Boomers hold a majority of the nation's wealth, and do not hesitate to use that fiscal ability to influence everything), if unhealthy and unhappy, will be a huge burden; if healthy and happy, motivated to think of not just themselves but others and the greater good, this juggernaut can make great things happen. This show will help Boomers leave a far better legacy for future generations.
Boomer Nation! puts the generation's formidable power and influence behind issues and products that forward the public good, from returning to earth friendly ways, to living healthier more productive lives (which, for example, can reduce the cost of health-care in later years). By having their own show, fully dedicated to their well-being, Boomers feel better about their life, with great social benefits.
What We Need & What You Get
The money will not only keep the show on the air, but allow us to maintain its format keeping the vision and intent (outlined above) intact. We have found that relying on paying sponsors, which is what has kept it going so far, compels us to fit the format to the sponsors' needs rather than the other way around (for example, if a sponsor is a financial planner, we must focus too highly on that one subject, taking away from the variety of topics we need to cover to keep the show both fresh and relevant).
Reaching our goal allows us to remain on the air for 5 months, giving us the time to find the right kinds of sponsors who will support the pure show format. Falling below that simply means we may leave the air sooner.
