Hey hey BATT Family! We're back with our next main episode! We hope you really enjoyed the Live! episode from PopiCon, we had a blast recording that one. Last week didn't have an off-week release unintentionally between returning from vacation, an absolute nightmare of a week at work, and preparing for MacWagCon (the studio honestly has probably never looked better). This week though we get to talk about theme and what brings us to games, finally getting Scott to play one of my all time favourite games, and a return to one of our favourite rotating segments.

--- Notes!
1) I know when talking about Skymines I could have said Moonbasa instead of Space Mombasa and frankly I'm as disappointed in myself as you are.
2) Not sure what or why that weird metronomic popping is there for a few a bit around the 30:20 mark, but it appeared to be buried within the audio itself and I couldn't clear it out. Apologies! I'm still trying to get better at audio engineering!
3) It is ironic that we discussed theme for so long in the episode and then Faraway's gets discarded out of hand so fast when talking about it. The game was taught to me without using that theme and unforunately nothing in the gameplay reinforces it so I just kind of breezed past it.

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.
