1,183 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 10 hours ago - ★★★★★ - 122 ratings

Rational Boomer is a contrast to what people believe Baby Boomers to be. It's about insight, intelligence, compassion, logic and truth regarding politics and news of the day. It's about nostalgia and stories of the past. It's about information and entertainment. A place for rational boomers to rally around.
