This episode of DISOBEDIENT we welcome guest Vera Scroggins. Vera is located in northern Pennsylvania and played a very big role in her local community in giving voice to a resistance to the invasion-like eruption of hyrdo-fracking gas well drilling that descended on her rural area in the past decade.
Our conversation broadened into a chat about the unfolding phenomenon that is "Covid" and the many parallels between it and the corporate dominated assault by gas drilling companies, the complicity of local governments eager to take generous funding for their cooperation and the massive public relations (aka propaganda) campaigns that dominated the narrative.
Vera became a prolific video-documentarian of the goings-on in her community as a way of bearing witness. Her trove of videos can be found at "Vera Scroggins" on youtube.com

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.
