In the frozen vastness of Antarctica, 1946 marked the launch of one of the largest U.S. naval expeditions ever mounted. Officially, it was a training exercise meant to test equipment and personnel in the most unforgiving climate on Earth. But in the decades since, a storm of conspiracy theories has gathered around the mission, transforming it from a logistical venture into a legend of secrecy and the supernatural.
Whispers suggest that Admiral Richard Byrd and his fleet were not merely braving the elements but confronting something far stranger. Some claim they encountered remnants of a secret Nazi stronghold, where advanced “wonder weapons” awaited beneath the ice. Others insist Byrd’s men stumbled upon flying discs of extraterrestrial origin, unleashing a clash that ended the expedition months ahead of schedule.

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.
