This week, we’re heading to Wisconsin, where history and the bizarre collide! Lauren kicks things off with the story of John Schrank, the man who tried to assassinate President Theodore Roosevelt during a campaign stop in Milwaukee. Schrank’s troubled past, strange visions, and shocking actions make this a story that is as unsettling as it is unforgettable. Then, Kenzie dives into one of Wisconsin’s strangest UFO encounters—the bizarre case of Joe Simonton. In 1961, Joe claimed that aliens landed in his yard, asked him for water, and even shared pancakes with him. Was it a hoax, a dream, or one of the oddest alien encounters in American history? Join us as we uncover Wisconsin’s strange mix of political violence and extraterrestrial mystery!

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.
