Happy holidays! This week, we are bringing you a vaguely-Christmas-themed classic. Listen, Santa is present, and sometimes that's the most you can ask. Many of our listeners are surely familiar with this story of childhood adventure (and also heavy-handed Christian allegory), but when was the last time you really dove into the details? A long time ago? Same for us! Join us as we wade through topics like Extremely English Children, Biblical references, and, of course, Lion Jesus.
CW for discussion of Christian allegory, references to series-typical sexism and racism

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.
