We're launching a brand new Broads Miniseries to kick off the fall and Sara's here to tell you all about it!
We all hear the "c" word tossed around often, in the media, and even amongst our friends and family, but what is its origin? We dig deep into the origins of the word, and it's adjacent words, too.
Then, Sara tours us through all the possible Broads that were suggested for this series, which category they fall under, and why. Some of the names you'll recognize, some you won't, but ALL of them, are definitely Broads You Should Know!
