Broadminded
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Broadminded is a show on XM Radio Channel 155 - Take Five. It is hosted by three real-life friends, Shari Elliker, Christine Eads, and Molly Dedham. The premise of the show is topics that may be discussed when three real-life friends get together. The three hosts refer to themselves as "Broads". They discuss a wide range of topics from sex, men, entertainment, and life in general.
The show debuted on XM Radio in October 2005. The show was originally heard from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. evenings eastern time, but was moved to the "drive time" slot" from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time. Lively, fast paced and very entertaining, the Broads talk about every thing with a witty candor not often heard on radio or television[citation needed].
[edit] Specialities
Each "Broad" has a specialty area. Shari is fan of Crime Stories (whether reality or fiction) as seen during Murday Monday, Thursday Thugs and then leading Fugitive Friday. Christine is a fan of entertainment and gossip and leads the other broads daily during Broadbuzz. Christine also seems to be the driving force during Ask The Broads/As Tried on Broadminded and The Unbelivable Broads. Molly is a fan of music and you will hear a Molly's Music segment every Thursday ranging from singing to the songs of the 80's onto a Tribute to Marvin Gaye. The opening sequence to their show has recently been changed to reflect these interests.
