Welcome to Broads You Should Know, the podcast about amazing and noteworthy women from history!
Broads You Should Know is hosted by Sam Eggers, Sara Gorsky, & Justin Xavier, and if you have no idea who we are... this is the episode for you! In it, we introduce ourselves and then break down the history & usage of the word "Broad" and why we chose it for the title of our podcast. We also talk about the types of women we'll be covering & give you a feel for who we are and why we're passionate about the subject!
