On this episode, Bonnie McHugh conducts and co-produces her fantastic, superb, very fun, and really conversational interview with me for Episode #314 of the podcast. This is Bonnie's debut/first time on the show, and we recorded this episode at Greenwood Park in Des Moines.
After our introductions, Bonnie asked me the following questions:
1. Why are you a podcaster and what led you to decide to do these podcasts?
2. If everything went according to plan, where do you see the podcast going five years from now?
3. What goes into the editing and post production for the podcast?
4. If you could pick anyone to recruit for future episodes to interview you, who would they be and why?
5. What was the thought process behind having different people interviewing you for each episode of the podcast?
6. What is your favorite Saturday Night Love skit or sketches?
7. Let's say you are going on a road trip somewhere and you are responsible for putting together the playlist. What would be the first song on your road trip playlist?
8. If someone wants to start their own podcast, what advice would you give to them?

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.
