Two Broad Casters

Our friend Lynne Taylor joined us to discuss the upcoming 250th milestone celebation for the United States. We weave around the constitution in conversation seeking for some of the long ago signs of it being off the track.  We have been watching slowly but surely ways to skirt logic, original intent, accountibilty, responsibility and down right tryanny over a slow simmer.  Are we now boiling frogs...

In this episode we discuss what it looks like to be job searching in todays fast moving and changing employment market.  The jobs themselves are changing along with the hiring process with the advent of AI and human resource tools.  The average time to find an early/to mid career professional  job is 2-4 months, specialized technical roles 3-5 months, director levels 4-6 months and VP and C level...

Special guest, Jen Lefforge of the very popular lifestyle and travel YouTube Channel, Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge, joined the Two Broads in this episode where we gathered to talk about our seasons of caregiving for a parent, although the sentiment is targeted to all types of caregivers.  This topic hits home for so many right now and the number is growing.  There is an inadaquate foundational...

In this episode we get into America's AI Action Plan document, the 2027 budget, data centers & more.  It's quite the web that is being woven and it's a lot to try and grasp.  It's also documentat...

Somewhat inspired by the passing of Lee Estes, aka; The Man on the Mural, the broads take time in this episode to just appreciate all the regular people out here.  By regular, meaning only not famous, not wealthy and not on a stage. While the dark theater of the worlds center stages rage on there are people out here everyday touching the life of another person and holding this crazy world together...

Clearly the broads were suppressing some real feels about the grotesque culture's environment for children.  Between Epstein files, literature for youth, the children clothing industry, the non stop sexual inuendos in everything and the access the whole world has to our children, there is a war against kids.  Innocence, naivete, and natural child development seem on hiatus replaced by "real world"...

Sarah shared a story in this episode about an ordeal she and her family were undergoing for a good part of last year and felt the need to use it as a cautionary tale.  Property disputes with a neighbor can be very stressful and once a neighbor decides to sue you, it adds a whole other layer to the discomfort.  This is a good cast to listen to if you have an easement on your property.  She, like a...

Like a breath of fresh air the Two Broads were graced with special guest Dennis Ferrier for a casual, frank and uplifting conversation focusing on goodness.  Dennis is the cheif investigative reporter for FOX 17 out of the Nashville, TN market and produces the Ferrier Files segments, which covers both investigative reports and human interest stories.  It was for the latter that we asked Dennis bac...

County Mayor candidate Reggie Weaver joined the broads for a conversation about real people running for office. Real people, meaning people involved in their local communities who are outside of the insider ball game club.  We discussed the need for people outside the political machine to step up and run for a local office, help someone who is and at the very least be involved with local politics...

Did anyone notice the advertising trend during the Superbowl?  This episode highlights conversations we need to be having with each other as algorithms, AI and data int...

Country music veteran, singer songwriter extraordinaire, Clare Dunn joined Lauri & Sarah on this recent episode.  Clare, being bold enough to strike out on her own and disassemble from the major label and the demoralizing music biz  reconnected with her values and makes music that is close to her heart which has led her on an additional path. Clare, who grew up on a family ranch in Southeast Color...

The world stage is nuts whether near or far. So many distractions and so many big headlines that keep people glued to the screens for any scrap of what could resemble anything like closure, progress or realistic reporting.  But, alas, those things rarely emerge.  It gets clearer day to day that we live under a massive dose of deception, trickery, violence and mind control. But hey, let's not let o...

In this episode we discuss a known yet glossed over the problem of illiteracy in this country.  We went into a backward view of where we were concerning literacy as far back as the early 1800's to where the numbers line up today.  We discussed all of the implications this bears on both someone unable to read/write as well as into the many societal ills it may very likely be affecting.  We of cours...

Happy New Year All!!  We jumped on our mics coming in at episode #141 and the first of the new year filled with positivity and hope.  We chatted about what fresh starts can do and how important taking stock of what one has gone through is important for moving forward and for settling in with what is at hand.  Health was brought up since no other accomplishments can be done without feeling well. Di...

Grief. One of the things that connects us all. Never welcome, rarely seen coming but the depths grief strikes in us rarely passes anyone over.  When it strikes it throws your center of gravity completely out of any sense of what was solid ground and while we all have or will experience grief it is deeply personal at the same time.  We wanted to talk about grief purposefully around the Holidays whe...

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...
