Welcome back to Ahch-To Radio! In today's episode, Alden is joined by author, digital writer, humorist, & friend of the show, Kelly Knox! Kelly returns for two funny reasons: First and foremost, to discuss her book, Star Wars: Dad Jokes. But she's also here to unpack the overall comedy of Star Wars. We explore the process of writing the jokes, building off of social media, and bringing comedy into our everyday lives. And then we take a larger look at the jokes in the saga, the most comedic characters, the history of Lucasfilm parodies, & more. Be sure to check out Kelly's website here, follow her over on Twitter, and get your copy of Dad Jokes here! Follow @AhchToRadio on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and our YouTube channel!

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.
