Hi! We're the Boomerang! kids, here to give you a tour of the stories you'll hear on Boomerang!

Want something for your ears? Listen to Jessica explain each of our segments.

Big Talk

We begin each episode be reading a few letters from our listeners about the funny things grown-ups do. We offer some advice, but sometimes we're as silly as our parents can be.

Turning Points

I'm Natalie, head of the time-traveling team at Turning Points. We go back in time to interview people who made a difference in history, like Rosa Parks, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein and Emily Dickenson.

Boom Radio

I'm Ben Jammin', DJ director at Boom Radio, broadcasting to you a-live from a messy bedroom somewhere in the universe. There's something on my mind...

Schmave's Elevator

Hey there, I'm Dave Schmave. I run the elevator at the Boomerang building. The kids come and talk to me, especially when they're feeling blue. I usually have a story up my sleeve - growing up in the old days, in a big family in Illinois, I ended up with some pretty good ones. Guess I have a knack for it, 'cause the kids keep coming back.

Tucker Jones

Hey Boomers, I'm Tucker Jones, private eye. People call me when they need some help. Dog acting strange? Lost caterpillar? Tiny polka band in your refrigerator? Say no more. I'm on the case.

The Count

Learn to count to 10 in a foreign language. Because you just never know.

The Big Idea

I'm the King of Complicated Stuff over at the Bureau of Big Ideas. On every episode of Boomerang!, my partner and I dig into a big topic like the Stock Market, Outer Space, Spying and Privacy, or Moral Courage, using examples and metaphors that we kids understand.

Jokes

Yep, jokes on every issue. Good ones and bad ones. Screamers and groaners. Home of the famous Little Sister Joke (yeah, she's still learning to talk...).

Power Up

Remember the excitement and pride in doing something all by yourself for the first time - like making your own lunch, or washing the dog without being asked? We love these stories. We collect them from our listeners and share them with the world on Power Up.

Natural Wonder

I'm Natalie, and I love being outside. There are so many things to be curious about: cicadas, raindrops, mosquitoes, sea lions... let me tell you about them!

American Journey

Hi there, I'm Toby. My grandfather and I are on a long road-trip around America. I tell stories about the places I'm visiting now, who I'm meeting and what it's like here. I also record the sounds, so you can hear it all for yourself.

Weird Words

I'm Freddy Finklehammer, host of the game-show "WEIRD WORDS!" where you're going to learn some vocabulary words so weird it's hard to believe they're real.

Money

I'm Freddie Baxter, and I bring you stories about running my own business, the Rhubarb and Banana Sandwhich stand. When Harold gave me $20 for supplies, I learned about stock. When Billy borrowed $8 of Harold's $20, I learned about banking. And when my dog tore up my rhubarb patch, I learned about hard times!

Widget and Whack

I'm Widget, and this is my brother Whack. We'll take anything apart - toilets, vacuum cleaners, cameras - and tell you how it works. We can't promise we can get it back together though...
