The Anthony in Italy Podcast

The Anthony in Italy Podcast

This isn’t your postcard version of Italy. No gondolas and gelato clichés here—unless we’re calling them out. The Anthony in Italy Podcast dives into the real stuff: conversations with expats, locals, travelers, and anyone who’s got something honest to say about life and travel in Italy. We get into culture shocks, small-town obsessions, regional quirks, unexpected lessons, and the occasional espresso-fueled rant about Italian food rules. Whether you’re planning a trip or just fascinated by the weird, wonderful mess that is Italy, you’re in the right place.

    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.
