AI-generated podcast based on the blog by Patricia Regier and generated via Google NotebookLM. I laughed when I directed how I wanted the podcast to sound, including being more professional, etc., and asked them to pronounce my last name correctly. I didn't expect them to point out it in the podcast. I decided to leave that in. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog and tutorial about using AI in strategic and creative ways.

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.
