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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
