The Broad Experience
"Here's why I started the show: We
all define success differently, and having a sane, balanced existence is
important to a lot of us. But many women are ambitious, yet we don't quite
reach our full potential. There are many reasons why. Often they are boiled
down to one thing: babies. It's more complicated - and interesting - than that.
I wanted to bring some nuance to this topic.
About the name: non-Americans may
not know that 'broad'
is decades-old slang for 'woman' in US English. I wanted the name to be fun and
distinctive. We discuss important topics here, but I don't take myself too
seriously."
Recent episode topics include: transcending tradition
– women in India, claiming credit, when men stay home, when women work for
free, power and body language

History Chicks
"First off: This isn’t History 101 and there is no test.
Secondly, our goal is to introduce you to female
characters in history, factual or fictional via our podcast and shownotes. An
introduction, an overview and a little push to explore and learn more on your
own.
The shownotes will give you a short look at the life of
the person that we are discussing- basic facts and links to other sources to
learn more. The podcast episodes will go
into greater detail as we chat about the challenges, failures and successes,
times, and all the juicy bits that we find interesting about the life of our subject. Sometimes, as
opportunities present themselves, we will add Special Features here on our
website that relate to the person that we are spotlighting.
Tuck away a couple of facts to throw out at dinner
parties! Dazzle your kids when they are learning history in school! Dive
headfirst into the subcultures that exist for just about anyone! Redecorate a
room in homage! Plan a vacation around a women that existed long before you
but, for some reason, you relate to. How you use the resources that we provide
is entirely up to you."
Recent episode topics: Dorothy Parker, Marie Antoinette,
Lydia Pinkham, Joan of Arc, Hattie McDaniel
