Boomer Has It!
Two writers, two cities, two opinions on culture and politics from a boomer perspective. Veteran creatives JB Miller and Jim Gialamas, reporting from London and New York, offer up a surprising take on a world going somewhere on a handbasket, if not a steamer trunk. All aboard.
Jim Gialamas is a writer and former journalist, widely acknowledged as the cultural mayor of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. JB Miller is an author, playwright, and former New Yorker now haunting cafes in southwest London. Drawing on their transatlantic dispatches, they meet here to figure out what the flip is going on.

What is a “national treasure”?
In the UK there’s wide consensus about who are the nation’s living “treasures” — people like David Attenborough, Judi Dench, Paul McCartney and Elton John. One benchmark is to be a senior citizen with a large body of work behind you. But another is to be largely above politics. In the US where everything has become politicized under Trump, can there be any “national treasures?”
