Childhood Airwaves revisits and researches the cartoons, series, TV shows, anime, and heroes that were part of everyday life for people who grew up watching television in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s.
More than collecting memories, the blog seeks to reconstruct these stories: when a production began, how it arrived in Brazil, where it aired, who took part, which versions existed, how channels and programming blocks worked, and what happened afterward.
The focus is mainly on the Brazilian audience’s experience. For that reason, a production may be much older and still belong on the blog if it continued to shape the childhood of these generations.
