HI There! Here’s a little bit about what we have going on here at the Podcast Without Borders Network. We’re a band of people stretched across the country, but that doesn’t stop us from sharing our stories with each other and all our listeners. Springing from the OG podcast, Splainin’ Things, PWBN started as goal set by Daylen Turk to start a whole series of shows for people to listen to and enjoy, no matter where you go. So here we are, with all our current shows and more to come in the future. Read below to read a little bit about each one of our shows!
900Things I hate
This show started out kind of as a joke until we decided it could be fun. You see, Shelby Turk, Neva Gregory, and Wyatt Gregory are all siblings, and one day, while Wyatt was visiting in Austin, Texas, he shared with the rest a wonderful list, of all the things he hates. At the time it was at 900 but adding to the list every time he things of something, he has now almost eclipsed 2,000 things (900 just rolls off the tongue better). So here we are! Sharing this list with you, the listener, in an attempt to find common ground in the menial and not so menial hatred of things as we gradually lose our sanity.
Point in Time
Audio dramas! They are coming back. Since the first installment of War of the Worlds was broadcast in 1938, audio dramas have consistently been one of the must underappreciated story telling formats while also one of the most compelling. In recent years, audio dramas/audio theater have made a huge comeback. Daylen Turk grew a huge passion for them when he discovered a show called “We’re Alive” several years ago. Daylen studied an immense amount of history while in college and grew passionate about telling historical stories, the only problem was that there are already so many narrative history podcasts. SO, the idea of a historical audio drama was born. Each episode takes a look at a different point of history and is completely backed up by peer-reviewed secondary sources and colleagues. Daylen’s goal is to provide an entertaining, captivating, enlightening, and educational show that gives people new excitement to learn about our world’s history.
Social Discord
One night Daylen Turk was playing basketball and received a phone call from Curtis Medina, a friend, colleague, and former employer. Curtis had the idea of starting a show, not like your average opinionated talking heads show, but one that is heavily based on research, fact, valued sources, constrictive discussion, and input from experts. It was from this idea that Social Discord was born. Months later Daylen got together with Curtis, and Kara Thibault, and with a mix of backgrounds in media, journalism, and history, we came up with this: Millennials have the super power of bringing a fractured America back together. We'll explore politics, sociology, economics & how to deal with a modern, tech aware, changing world with hosts that run the gamut of Millennial years. We'll work at bridging the baby boomer and Gen Z gap & to progress without losing connection to our roots. Conservatives, liberals, progressives, independents & anything else... all are welcome to the discussion about the past, present & future of our world.
In All Sincerity was created out of necessity and need to create a space of empathy for people to connect, communicate and learn more about others. Inspired by Clear+Vivid, Alan Alda’s podcast, Daylen put together a simple show to have real intimate conversations with others. It’s not meant to be dividing, it’s not meant to prove any points, it’s simply meant to be a show where we can connect with people and learn about their stories. Who knows, you just might be a guest on the show yourself, all you have to do is ask!
