Hello, Hello!
Welcome to SUMMARIES, Episode #13
Summaries take some of our best long-form interviews (and even some unpublished ones) and condense them down to 10 (or so) minutes of pure listening pleasure.
Summaries are hosted by our AI interns, Alex Ivey and Allison Inverness, and are designed to give you, our valued listeners, just the information you need from each guest. It's a new short-form concept for a fast-paced world. It's the answer to the two-hour podcast you want to listen to but never have the time for.
Each new episode of Summaries will be published right here, on the MAKE IT feed. We think you'll love it as much as we do—now, on to the show.

Alex and Allison summarize our previously released episode with Frances Lebar (formerly Frances Hernandez), Emmy-Winning Production Designer (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Ahsoka, Next Goal Wins). So, who is Frances Lebar?
Frances Lynn Lebar is an Emmy‑winning production designer, art director, and creative director, currently based in Los Angeles. Originally hailing from North Carolina, she grew up immersed in nature and imaginative play—building forts, drawing, and writing stories—which laid the foundation for her visual storytelling career.
As a member of the Art Directors Guild (IATSE Local 800), Lebar brings her design sensibility to both film/TV and commercial work. Her credits include high‑profile titles such as Ahsoka, Spider‑Man: No Way Home, Next Goal Wins, and MONARCH: Legacy of Monsters, showcasing her versatility across genres.
Lebar’s approach blends conceptual imagination with hands‑on environmental design—whether she’s constructing a futuristic set, shaping immersive broadcast spaces, or leading creative direction on a commercial project. Her early fascination with narrative‑driven space and form continues to inform her work today.

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.
