This week, we’re diving into two stories of wealth, mystery, and maritime hauntings! First, Kenzie takes us into the scandalous life of Doris Duke, once called “the richest girl in the world.” From her turbulent personal relationships to the mysterious death of her companion, Doris’s story is a mix of glamour, power, and controversy that still fascinates true-crime and history buffs alike. Then, Lauren sets sail with the tale of the Palatine Ghost Ship, a spectral vessel said to appear off the coast of Rhode Island. Rooted in tragedy and whispered about for centuries, this ghostly legend has become one of New England’s most enduring maritime mysteries. Join us as we explore the chilling tales of Doris Duke and the Palatine Ghost Ship—two very different stories, bound together by intrigue and the supernatural.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
