Mark Chiarello—"Mark swung his chair around to face me as I entered the room, a look of wild concern on his face. I had Johnny, the Rousseau kid with me, we were looking for lunch. 'Hey, Man!' Mark said, 'Where did my podcast go? I've listened to every episode now three times!' And that's the only reason we brought the podcast back. For Mark."

John Burgin -- I once told John that he looked a bit like Sir Alec Guinness and I think I hurt his feelings 'cause all he knew was old Obi-Wan Kenobi Alec Guinness but I was talking about young Alec Guinness from, like, the 50s when he was in all those hilarious Ealing movies that Nick Cardy made me watch. Take a look. I'm not wrong. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Pal.

The first time I met Cully was when he came to play volleyball with our old Woodstock volleyball gang. He was new and just visiting, so we took it easy on him. But in truth he was crap. I truly believe though, that if he had lived closer, he could have been one of the great ones. Maybe even go professional. But he code to stick with art instead. So we'll never know.

Darryl Banks—There's a difference between a firm handshake and a hard handshake. One is a gesture of acknowledgement and respect. The other is a cowardly attempt to assert some measure of dominance. Bullies do this. Darryl Banks' handshake is a furtive invitation to a journey of enlightenment and peace. But…will you accept…?

Matt Anderson — I didn't know Matt; he's a friend of Doug's and Doug kept saying, "Ya gotta have Matt on! Ya gotta talk to Matt!" And I'll say it here; Doug was right. I did have to talk with Matt. About Doug. I get it now. Also, Matt wrote the cool comic White Picket Fences about flying saucers landing in 1950s America.

Dan Jurgens — When I was s kid I was very shy and had a crush on a girl I could never ever talk to. I also read The Warlord comic by Mike Grell and would fantasize about being it's hero, Travis Morgan, trapped in the inner-Earth world of Skartaris and rescuing that cute girl with nothing but my sword and my bravery. This really has nothing to do with Dan Jurgens except, years later, Dan took over both writing and drawing that book....

Todd Nauck - 

Here's something you didn't know about Todd Nauck; he's got a secret identity. True! No, I'm not gonna tell you what it is, then it wouldn't be a secret! But I will tell you this; it involves a costume. No, not a superhero costume! It's a costume from a play. No, I'm not gonna tell you what play, that would give it away! Okay, it's from 'Les Mis."

Brittany Holzherr grew up reading comics in a household where they were always around 'cause her Dad had been into them. Her brother's name is Kent 'cause her Mom loved the Superman TV show. Just they dug comics. Like most of us in the business, Brittany still finds it a little surreal that's she's IN the business. We're all just very glad she is.

    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.
