On Land-Grant Holy Land In Conversation, we talk to people in and around Ohio State athletics, and the sporting world at large, to bring you a different insight and perspective to the teams, athletes, and university that you love. On this episode of "Land-Grant In Conversation," Matt Tamanini talks to The Athletic beat writer covering the Michigan Wolverines, Austin Meek. In their conversation, Austin gives Matt the latest on TTUN's injury situation, noting that running back Jordan Marshall is almost assured of playing. Then, they get into the maturation of freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood, how the Wolverine defense is similar and different from the other versions that of beaten OSU in recent seasons, and what the game means to Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore.

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
