Amanda Seales and the crew kick things off with U.S. Congresswoman Cori Bush as she opens up to Marc Lamont Hill about whether she’ll support Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election. Then, it’s over to *The State of the States*, spotlighting Pennsylvania’s proposed HB 2433, a bill aiming to curb big corporate spending in state elections. Plus, we break down why FTC leader Lina Khan has Big Tech on edge, and we’ll also explore how a rapper’s voice and cadence play a critical role in the hip-hop scene.
In *Big Up Let Down*, tune in for a dose of tech humor as AI ‘Claude 3.5 Sonnet’ takes an unexpected break by scrolling through Yellowstone National Park photos instead of coding. Meanwhile, the letdown centers on a “Ballot Blunder” that left an early voter frustrated. We’re also celebrating National First Responders Day, National Internal Medicine Day, and National Chocolate Day in this episode—because who doesn’t need a little chocolate on the side?

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.
