What kind of energy do you get after a DM show? We leap into the vibrant and lasting impact of Depeche Mode through the lens of live concert experiences. This episode features engaging discussions with two special guests: Shannon Hemmett, a musician from Vancouver, Canada, who is part of the bands Leathers and Actors; and Jason Rogers, an environmental protection professional from Georgia, who shares a passionate side-hobby of writing about music and movies.

The conversation opens up a nostalgic journey as each speaker shares their first encounters with Depeche Mode's iconic tunes and how these songs became an intrinsic part of their musical DNA. Listeners are treated to vivid narratives of live performances, with Shannon describing an unforgettable close-up experience during the Delta Machine tour and Jason sharing a personal transformation and community moment at the same tour years later. I recount my transformative seventh-grade concert experience during the Music for the Masses tour, emphasizing the electrifying atmosphere. 

This episode is a tribute to music's timeless power to inspire, connect, and create lasting memories, with Depeche Mode at the heart of the conversation. We just can't get enough of them, can we? Follow H.I. Art on the Edge, P.C.E! and Surprise Cast.  Follow: https://www.actorstheband.com/

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
