Two Broad Casters

Sarah and I discussed the topic of data centers dodgyness a few weeks ago. Since then, we have been privy to so many areas fighting these beheamoth industrial data dumping grounds which made us want to visit the topic again.  Many are behind in learning just how many of these centers there are and the real fun fact is that they are ramping up the building of more at a rapid, we are in a race pace....

Friends, Sarah and I got into a passionate discussion based around the word streaming. Streaming; a word one would have never seen coming as a reference to so much and used so often.  Upon pondering the word we compared an analogy of our own personal lives being a stream and wondered how much attention that stream is getting vs all the other streaming options.  Caution, this conversation had us co...

Both of the broads were abroad this past month; not together but near the same time and near the same part of the world.  Sarah was off in various spots in the UK and Lauri was in Ireland with a northern dip to that Uk piece of Ireland.  Just know that the stories of their adventures and observations were flowing and this episode is perfect for a mental vacation, some storytelling and some laughs....

The days are shorter.  There is less sunlight.  The hectic season of Holidays is before us.  The hustle, the bustle, the stress. Running on little sleep to get it all done.  The Broads are calling for a time out to remind us that our bodies need attention, especially this time of year.  Time for a self check on the status of what you are doing to armor up your body's defenses.  We share some of ou...

In this episode we are discussing data center. aka: cloud storage and now AI training centers.  While we are no experts on the matter, we present here a primer of some facts and a whole lot of thoughts on the realities of these centers.  I think most humans are out living their lives, realizing and talking about the effects of AI and data collection yet these data centers are rather stealthy in th...

Welcome to a Halloween chat with the Two Broads and Rae Hobbs, the podcast's third broad behind the scenes.  Rae, who loves Halloween, joined us for a hang and we ended up with quite the interesting conversation regarding Halloween.  Why so many love it, the history of it, the rise in the partaking in it, and much more.  We all had to ponder about how the news and the things going on in the world...

MAHA: Making America Healthy Again.  Considering the fast paced trajectory towards more and more chronic disease starting younger and younger, a fact filled need for our attention turned towards health could be the single most important thing to turn our attention to.  However, is this just another distraction to make it seem like there is actual caring going on or are there some who do care, and...

Father and now activist, John DeMay, joined us on this episode sharing the story of the tragic loss of his son, Jordan.  A moving and maddening story to be sure but chock full of the hope that more and more parents level up their game in decisions regarding screens.  We give the whole world to our young ones when most days its too much for anyone to navigate.  Please listen and share this podcast...

Sarah and I, like so many over the past week were jolted by the murder of Charlie Kirk.  We both fell on the same opinion of Charlie Kirk, with no prior discussion regarding him, and that was, we were not aligned with several things Charlie Kirk discussed.  We both also acknowledged that he was doing something very important regardless of our opinion about the things we did not agree with and ther...

The fast speed train to weight loss is nothing new but in light of the newest fat burniers on the block; GLP-1's, are the stakes getting higher and higher?  These shots, like any predecessor of old may work so long as they are used, but what about when you quit?  Did the root problem get resolved or are you back to too many pounds with the extra weight of health problems?  The broads discuss how w...

A great conversation with artist Brenan Sharp that weaved into many stories of how artists and authentic art and ideas are the counter balance to all of the fake and AI generated trickery. We discussed how art can bring us together.  We discussed how the desire for authenticity will only increase and how using art to build community will become more sought after.  We discussed how at the end of it...

All dangerous and very toxic personalities aside, how can something like declaring no contact with parents become a trend?  It seems like it is rather becoming a thing in cases devoid of abuse, addictions or mental illness.  In a time of severe isolation, lack of community and strained relationships it seems so very dark to make a hard line towards ones parents. Are healthy boundaries pushing over...

Tune in as the Two Broads have their friend, Stacy Dam of Set Your Sites back for the third time!  We love following the journey of Set Your Sites so we love to invite her back whenever she has new and exciting updates.  We use Stacy's journey as a great reminder that a frustration over something can lead to declaring a problem and then deciding to idea a solution into existence.  Her story is the...

Does it seem that more and more growing up and growing old are at odds? The Two Broads discuss how so many grown adults seem to be acting out like young children in many different ways.  From public outbursts, road rage, anxiety over decision making, whining and complaining and seemingly needing to soothe and pacify themselves in so many bad ways.  Our culture is in dire need of some good old fash...

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 teache...

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 tho...

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 advert...

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....

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...

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 likelihoo...

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 e...

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...

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 poli...

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 rega...
