Bonafide with Luke Bona

He doesn't tell you what to think, but gives you something to think about! He’s a radio legend, punted not once, not twice, but three times from national airwaves. But Luke just doesn’t know when to quit and he’s not done yet. News, politics, technology, motoring and more, Luke is bringing his regulars back for conversations that’ll make you laugh, cry and give you something to talk about - you thought Luke was unhinged before, imagine what he’ll do in a format with no limits. Truckie Tuesday is back, as well as The Man Cave for unfiltered, honest and downright bonkers chats.

    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.
