Welcome back to the deeply engrossing world of The Poppy War! Join us as we pick up with the sequel to 2018's breakout fantasy hit, and reconnect with Rin and the country of Nikan. Here we follow as she ends up part of a revolutionary movement towards democracy (maybe), and draw comparisons to some of the real-life inspiration from the story, the Chinese Civil War.
Note: we recommend listening to our episode covering The Poppy War first!

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.
