„Zu den auffälligsten Merkmalen unserer Kultur gehört die Tatsache, dass es so viel Bullshit gibt.“ Das ist jedenfalls die These von Harry G. Frankfurts Buch über „Bullshit“. In Medien, Werbung, PR und vor allem in der Politik rollt eine unaufhaltsame Welle von Bullshit auf uns zu, nicht zuletzt im US-Wahlkampf, der gerade in die Endphase tritt. 

Aber was genau ist Bullshit? Warum ist er gefährlich und warum gibt es so viel davon? Darum geht es in der heutigen Episode. Für meine allererste Duo-/Crossover-Folge habe ich mich mit Daniel Brockmeier zusammengetan, um mir einen Überblick über das Bullshit-Feld zu verschaffen.

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.
