Episode 35 – September 14th, 2025 Guest: Charlie Slavík
This week on The Bus Stop Blues, the Big Bus is making a very special stop — all the way in the Czech Republic — to welcome one of Europe’s finest harmonica players, Charlie Slavík.
Charlie has earned international acclaim for his fiery harp style, soulful phrasing, and the rare ability to make the blues harp whisper, cry, and roar. From festival stages across Europe and the U.S. to collaborations with Grammy-winning artists, Charlie brings the blues to life with passion and power.
Our playlist tonight is packed with heavy hitters and international flavor — featuring Led Zeppelin, The Greenhorns, Mike Post, Charlie Musselwhite, Little Walter, St. Johnny, Juwana Jenkins, and of course, tracks from Charlie himself. Plus, we’ll have Tales from the Road, good banter, and plenty of blues to keep you rolling.
So punch your ticket, climb aboard, and join us for an unforgettable ride with Charlie Slavík on The Bus Stop Blues!

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.
