Grandma's Been There
Host and creator Siobhan Barry takes listeners back to the 1950s and 1960s. Her stories, sometimes funny and sometimes serious, are time traveling trips through the days of penny candies, neighborhood ice cream parlors, fifty-cent movie tickets, air raid drills, summers without air conditioning, street games, homemade toys, football weddings, transistor radios, Beatlemania, and a cultural revolution.
Grandma's Been There
In The Beginning, There Was Midwood Street
Why is it dangerous for a four-year-old to suck her thumb? Why is it a bad idea to put a goldfish bowl on top of a television set? How does one mother get two babies and a very large carriage down a flight of stairs? Where do babies come from? What should you answer when a pediatrician asks you if you want to see stars? All these questions will be answered as you come with me to revisit some of my earliest memories.
