Two Broad Casters

Conversations between two out of the box thinking broads; discussing their van life, farm life, art life, learning, salty commentary on culture and more. Thought provoking and humorous.

Born On The 4th Of July With Tom Arnold 07/03/2025

Born On The 4th Of July With Tom Arnold The Two Broads dear friend, Tom Arnold, joined us for a beautiful conversation about freedom, parenting, grand parenting, curiosity, life skills, generation bridging, individual liberty, ideas, boomers, pursuit of happiness, homesteading, simple life and friendship which shines throughout the entire episode. Tom is a ninth generation Tennessean, a true humanitarian, a life long learner and teacher. Tom was involved in politics since he gave out Barry Goldwater pencils from the seat of his bicycle and was influential in Tennessee as a political go to. Always about people and personal liberty first, Tom is the quintessential southern gentleman who has been a beacon of light for so many in a time of turmoil. If you listen closely all prescriptions for a good life are in this episode. Sarah starts the episode with her newest farm life tale which left her feeling empowered. No tech problems in this cast but there may or may not be animal sounds that make appearances. This cast is like a glass of iced tea on a shady porch from a rocking chair after being dehydrated in a desert. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/37268690

Further Discussion On Public Education With Lynne Taylor 06/26/2025

Further Discussion On Public Education With Lynne Taylor We invited the Common Core Diva, Lynne Taylor, back on for another episode as we could never exhaust all of the information she has on public education. Lynne is a wonderful researcher of original source documents. What she brings is from what those who release this stuff upon the rest of us from their blueprints of diabolical abuses that they write as both experiments and laws. Don't worry though, it is all in the name of progress, safety, inclusion, health and fairness of course. Lynne reads long word salad documents and shares what she finds; a task very few do. Of course there is no way to enter into a discussion on the mind control that public education is without venturing into so many other topic trails. After all, public education is our privileged right of passage into molding the future. The problem is, who's future? I should probably put a warning on this episode but I won't. We are all adults here, right? FInd more of Lynne's work at: There is a donate button on her website where those who realize the effort and time of what she does can contribute. She is on no payroll. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/37167975

A Rant On Journalism; Journalism? 06/19/2025

A Rant On Journalism; Journalism? It is not new that news media/journalism has been in the great race to the bottom for quite some time now but Sarah recently maxed out on the levels it is at and needed to vent. I mean, don't we all know at this point that big news affiliates are corporate owned and create within their brood controlled opposition so that between the fans of news red pill and news blue pill they get all the advertising dollars and get to control narratives. Cool. Some journalists have left that propaganda pump fest for smaller owned media outlets but it seems they start to veer for the shallow end of the pool and much of journalism now seems cult of personality; like most everything else. Well, we vent some feelings about this topic and more AND have laughs doing it. Warning though; Sarah names names. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/37065020

AI, Artists & Humanity With Jill Turpin 06/05/2025

AI, Artists & Humanity With Jill Turpin Jill Turpin joined the Two Broads for a great discussion on AI. Jill is a multifaceted artist as well as the brain child and director of an arts council and community center. We discussed the new frontier of art in the rapidly advancing AI era. How do artists respond? Will real art without AI be appreciated? Do people value art anymore since images are thrown at us daily like sand on a beach. More important, do we value what it is to be human anymore? Are we ripe for AI taking over all aspects of our lives? Are people ready? How does one ready? Are some in denial about it? All this and more in a deep conversation leading to some legit questions we should all be asking ourselves in these times we find ourselves in. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/36856875

Portugal, People & Pigs 05/28/2025

Portugal, People & Pigs After a few weeks away from the mics, the broads found themselves needing to catch up on what all their absence had brought them. At the end, we present a podcast episode seemingly brought to you by the letter P. Join us for this wacky ride where we defy you to find an episode of any cast where one can weave together travel, homestead life, imposter syndrome, power outages, the Pope and more P's then you can shake a stick at in just over an hour. The wacky mics are back on. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/36744985

Understanding The Department of Education With Lynne Taylor 05/09/2025

Understanding The Department of Education With Lynne Taylor Lynne Taylor, aka; Common Core Diva, joined the Two Broads for an in depth look into the Dept. of Education. Lynne is an education researcher with countless hours spent reviewing and analyzing legislation pertaining to education. She is a writer and has been on many podcasts as well as in person speaking engagements on the matters of education. The three of us discuss the topic of the likelihood of the elimination of the department, the exposure of all of it tentacles and other things that loop to the system of education. It's a real banger, a real triple crown of tin foil tiaras and it shouldn't be missed. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/36507550

Nothing But Good VIbes With Lamont Coleman 04/15/2025

Nothing But Good VIbes With Lamont Coleman A great conversation with the multi talented award winning songwriter, producer, movie and stage actor and artist developer, Lamont Coleman. We talk about how we met, how sparks can fly with another persons energy in an instant, how vibrations matter and the beauty of artistic expression plus a whole lot of side trails. It's as high energy as the high energy we speak about. A fun yet poignant episode. Raising the vibrations. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/36149780

A Conversation About Families With New Father, Jordan Slaughter 04/02/2025

A Conversation About Families With New Father, Jordan Slaughter When you have a great friend who has stepped into a step father role and is now a father of a brand new baby girl, you think, let's talk to a new father. Let's find out what is on his heart and mind about the adventure of parenting. Guest Jordan Slaughter brings an authentic discussion about new fatherhood and we discuss his observations in his work as a coach and also someone who works with men who are re-entering society post prison time. He has the unique view each day of watching men working to reconnect with their children. There is so much to be learned from that vantage point. A frank discussion. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/35970445

Two Broads View: The Insane Political Thunderdome 03/20/2025

Two Broads View: The Insane Political Thunderdome Not a normal topic for these Two Broads and clearly for entertainment purposes only, they dove into some pretty salty takes on the political arena. Kind of a wellness check America if you will. This cast is probably sure to have reactions that are unsavory for many but the good news is, the subject matter will probably not appear again for a very long time. The Broads in their unaffiliated political belongings tend to not favor anyone which right now seems could be a voice that breaks a matrix or at least breaks in scripts. You've been warned. It's not any cast that speaks of an unconstitutional era, a potential end of Congress as we know it and the end of the world period so there's that. Entertaining and salty but not for everyone, lol. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/35792745

Water Is Life: How Healthy Is Our Water Though? 03/02/2025

Water Is Life: How Healthy Is Our Water Though? Sarah really brings a great conversation regarding our water and specifically a presentation on a book that raised the flags on fluoride in our water a long time ago. It's widely accepted usage is actually quite a marvel given that there are no studies that still support the cavity reason behind slipping it into our water supplies. Of course the Broads found other tributaries to wade through regarding our water supply system, the power of expert blind trust and how the industrial revolution has brought us into being the age of the guinea pigs. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/35504205

Broad Spotlight On Music Industry Veteran Vicky Hamilton 02/14/2025

Broad Spotlight On Music Industry Veteran Vicky Hamilton Vicky Hamilton has been in the music industry spanning more than four decades. VIcky has developed, managed, or discovered many artists through the years including artists Motley Crue, Guns & Roses, Stryper, June Carter Cash, Poison & more. Currently Vicky owns her own label called Dark Spark Music that has a roster of great and diverse talents. Author of a new book of poetry called, Veiled Allusions she also authored Appetite For Dysfunction which is tales from her early days of working with Guns & Roses (they lived in her one bedroom apartment with her roommate Jennifer Perry for six months.) Appetite For Dysfunction has been picked up for a new upcoming television series. Join us in this authentic, raw three broad conversation where we discuss the music industry then and now, creativity, addictions, AI, new artists, sobriety, poetry and more. Rather a homecoming as two of these broads have nearly known each other for a very long time. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/35279680

Hey Pride, Have You Met Your Fall Yet? 02/01/2025

Hey Pride, Have You Met Your Fall Yet? A poignant discourse between the Two Broads on the topic of pride. A meaty and salty discussion worthy of chewing on. We recognize pride in others but perhaps we miss it in ourselves sometimes. We sure see all manner of pride in grand display all around us and along with it all of the bad side dishes it creates to go along with it. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/35111140

Time To Discuss Banning Things; TikTok 01/23/2025

Time To Discuss Banning Things; TikTok Well the Two Broads recorded this the day after TikTok was banned, however, as we all know, it was restored later that same day. It's a good thing we weren't just discussing TikTok. We of course had to make the conversation much more broad (pun intended). It seemed the scent of banning was in the air so we weighed in. Tune in Broad Band! /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/34985270

Floods & Fires & Liars; Oh My 01/15/2025

Floods & Fires & Liars; Oh My The Two Broads are back with sorrow and salt over the most recent fire disaster still under way in California and now Baja Mexico. What are the lessons everyone should take away from all of the disasters we see? There are lessons to be sure and there will be positives that come out of the ashes to be sure but..... that's a choice. One thing is for sure, thinking for oneself has never been more required. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/34868520

Mission Personal Challenge; Get A Grip On Your Health 01/08/2025

Mission Personal Challenge; Get A Grip On Your Health Your favorite Broads reflect on getting older, greed trust issues personal challenges and giving yourself the gift of better health. Lauri discusses her 21 day journey abstaining from all sugar and grains as well as social media. All that and so much more in this wellness motivating cast from your two favorite broads. There is no self care without good health care. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/34777315

Our Amazing Bodies vs Our Body Image Issues 12/17/2024

Our Amazing Bodies vs Our Body Image Issues As many topics are personal for the Two Broads, in this episode they discuss body image. The illusive journey for the perfect body. Even though nobody really knows who is the judge on this arbitrary "image" of our anatomies we sure act like we do. In the meantime the quest for the perfect abs, breasts, biceps and hind sides may actually be the biggest waste of time ever. A frank discussion about an all too popular obsession. Honestly, the time has come for us to shift perspective to optimum health as a focus not purely the illusive image that few ever see anyway. Good health will go so much farther in the long run than brutal obsession over how we look. Tune in, we are salty. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/34491445

Pleasure & Entertainment Overkill 12/09/2024

Pleasure & Entertainment Overkill The Two Broads were in extra rare form in this coffee table convo. There is a lot of social and cultural observation and criticism in this and truly one can only listen to see if you are able to list all of the bullet points, lol, Honestly though, it seems like we have over saturated our desires for entertainment, foods, escapism, sex, shopping and more to a point that pleasure could be an enemy. Where do you go when you've exhausted how entertained you can be? /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/34354560

Caution: Holidays Ahead 11/14/2024

Caution: Holidays Ahead Well, here we go; we are heading straight for the time of year that seems to bring with it the best and worst of times. The Two Broads bring their annual pre-season tips for getting into the right mindset for all of the festivities. Why? Because the stress level of so many is palpable starting around Thanksgiving and honestly, it reveals things about ourselves that could be wonderful indicators that need our attention that we may be ignoring; gaining more peace within everyday, not just around the Holidays. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/33928227

Conversation With Matt Beaudreau, co-founder of Apogee; Lifetime Family Learning 10/31/2024

Conversation With Matt Beaudreau, co-founder of Apogee; Lifetime Family Learning These Two Broads really enjoyed our conversation with Matt who came out of the public school "system" and once a Father realized he must do something different for his children regarding learning. He began to build what he thought learning could look like and invited everyone he knew to join in, and they did. Now Apogee learning centers are spread throughout the country. It is a great episode on lifetime learning, parenting, not accepting the status quo, building outside of the box and more. Tune in and share this important cast. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/33698487

Important Conversation with Joseph (Jake) Klein, Author of Redefining Racism; How Racism Became Power + Prejudice 10/22/2024

Important Conversation with Joseph (Jake) Klein, Author of Redefining Racism; How Racism Became Power + Prejudice The Two Broads were so pleased to have had Author Joseph (Jake) Klein on this episode where a very important topic was discussed. Klein's new book, Redefining Racism; How Racism Became Power + Prejudice, is a very well researched and important book bringing to light a very little known history of how anti racists movements have actually pushed culture backwards in the arena of inclusion and diversity. This book has been a six year journey and Jake shares some of his research pointing out that the way to real progress in anti racism must include being anti racist towards all. Perhaps it boils down to the truth that the real way to raise a bar is not by pushing others down but to raise the bar on oneself. Despite some short tech difficulties this is an episode to hear. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/33566687

Outrage Needed: Food To Pharma Pipeline 10/08/2024

Outrage Needed: Food To Pharma Pipeline It is past time to think that it cannot be true that the industrial food complex isn't out for us. It is naive to think the FDA would never allow harmful toxins to be in our foods. Does not everyone not yet know? There are decades of disease riddled data to show us just how far off from real food the complex of food scientists have brought us, begging the question, do we even know what real food is anymore? The Broads get fired up over this topic and one of incredible importance.... Our children, our nation, is sick. Own your own health, nobody is in your corner regarding it. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/33375037

Playing To Strengths & Other Great Business & Life Advise With Guest Brooke Lenhoff 09/27/2024

Playing To Strengths & Other Great Business & Life Advise With Guest Brooke Lenhoff Starting a new business? Stuck in your business? Want a successful life? Guest Brooke Lenhoff of the Entrepreneurship Center, Focus Suites joins the two broads for some foundational advise that often times gets overlooked when doing your own thing; the entrepreneur themselves. Understanding one's strengths is one such foundational building block that gets discussed today. Of course there are a lot of laughs too and some of the laughs come at the expense of this broad who damn near did die with her mic in her hand today..... unpredictable per usual, tune in! Be encouraged. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/33238027

Celebrating Milestones: Special Guest Stacy Dam 09/18/2024

Celebrating Milestones: Special Guest Stacy Dam For the first time, the Two Broads had a repeat guest on the show. Stacy Dam of Set Your Sites, joined us again after only under three months due to all of the barriers and goals she has busted down. Goals she spoke of in her first visit and boom, they happened. If you missed Stacy's first cast discussing her, "see a need, fill a need" business idea and the weird accident she had that spurred her into action, please go listen to the Set Your Sites episode back in June. We were so excited to see this lady who is fast becoming the first in a business league all her own; a pretty big deal actually. We discuss keeping motivated and taking time to acknowledge, celebrate and sit in the milestones for a minute as the journey really is everything. Also, it seemed fitting to celebrate Stacy's win with our own milestone here at Two Broad Casters as this is our 100th episode we have recorded. It won't take you long into this cast (like immediately) to see how there is zero improvement in the tech department after 100 episodes as Lauri tries to enter the show with what she thought was a sound bite of celebration and clapping sounds and well.... epic fail. Oh well, the broads are known for this type of awkwardness at this point. Tune in friends for this episode sure to encourage and make you laugh. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/33113272

Unschooling, Schooling & Education: A Salty Commentary 09/11/2024

Unschooling, Schooling & Education: A Salty Commentary The state of education is a topic that is sure to ruffle the broad's feathers. In this episode Lauri & Sarah push back against the misunderstanding of what unschooling generally really is and then it's off to the races. What ensues is a litany of amazement and grievances towards public education over the years and where it now finds us. Tune in if you like course salt. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/33014252

Motivation & Perseverance 09/04/2024

Motivation & Perseverance Sarah is currently partaking in a physical fitness challenge and while walking several hours a day currently she has had time to think a lot about motivation and perseverance. The two broads discuss these two golden qualities and all under the Lauri's shroud of exhaustion which is ridiculously obvious right at the start of the show when she boldly calls Sarah, Sarah Conners!! WHAT?? Well, if you are a listener regularly, this probably won't surprise you. Which is sad, lol. Thanks for listening. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/32901932

Prison & Education; With Special Guest Amy Jurgens 08/21/2024

Prison & Education; With Special Guest Amy Jurgens In observation of our occasional series on forgotten people groups, in this cast we discuss prisoners. Amy Jurgens is the Director for the Focus Suites Entrepreneurship Center and teacher at Southeast Community College. Amy is also teaching in the prison and shares her observations and insights about that. We talk about the bias many have regarding people who are or who have served time. One thing is for sure, no matter your thoughts or bias regarding ex-prisoners, one thing is for sure; many are coming back out it's on us out here on the "outside" to care about their re-entry. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/32669852

Olympic Post Game: Two Broad Style 08/14/2024

Olympic Post Game: Two Broad Style In this episode the broads come to the mics with some salty commentary regarding the Olympics. It has its touching moments when one Broad tells of her childhood connection to the Olympics. This is a fun episode sure to get you back into the spirit of gold and we think we may get gold in the category of best post game without having been there or watched any of it. Listen now! /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/32581172

Tragic Heroes & Cautionary Tales 08/08/2024

Tragic Heroes & Cautionary Tales Tragic heroes. We are all familiar with them as they are in most stories told; via plays, movies or books. Tragic figures and cautionary tales have been in our societal culture experience in everything from The Bible, to Greek mythology to Aesop's fables. We have been exposed to stories that warn of us many things and things like regret, bitterness, greed and lies to a point where it would seem like we could all see the end results of where such things lead. However, for some, it didn't take. What happens when the tragic hero is someone you know personally and are left no other option than to feel like the main thing their life ended up being was a cautionary tale. It is a very sad experience. The two broads discuss this hard topic as well as other random things like flash naps, mob naps, generational living and more. Tune in friends. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/32496592

Convenience & Consumerism 07/26/2024

Convenience & Consumerism The Two Broads have a conversation on this episode about how convenience, or a least the sales pitch of it, has led us into the really deep end of consumerism. We wonder if we are better off for it all despite the obviousness of much of it. Do we purchase without much real thought whenever something is sold as making our lives easier or better in some ways? Has all of that stuff we have bought lived up to its promise? Do we even use half of the stuff we have? Why do we think we have to constantly buy stuff? We bring up this topic in an effort to perhaps put some thought into how we are actually managing our lives though our stuff and our finances and our impulses to over buy. Perhaps we should spend a little more time being a producer of something at least once in a while as being known as consumers starts to feel heavy. /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/32307542

Prop-A-Ganda 07/20/2024

Prop-A-Ganda In this episode, in an attempt to soften the edges to so many campaign weary and anxiety stricken hearts the Two Broads are here to give a possible moment to readjust perspectives. Propaganda is the topic on this cast. A little background about it, what it is, how it's used and more. We even created a game called Spot The Ganda which we feel could aid humanity in surviving what now seems like an every four year virus that needs inoculation. Tune in as this is insightful and important but plenty of humor is poured throughout along with some snark and salt of course. Tune in!! /episode/index/show/12ebefa7-c67e-47b9-b207-2522eb3eddea/id/32225217
