Decoding 'Cold Fire' by Rush: Music Deep Dive
This episode features a deep dive into the Rush song "Cold Fire" from their Counterparts album, focusing primarily on the music rather than the lyrics. We share our varied opinions on the song's musical elements, including its rock guitar, the performance by Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson, and the production aspects. We explore specific musical components like Neil Peart's use of the tambourine and his famous ride rhythm, Geddy Lee's melodic vocal delivery, and Alex Lifeson's guitar solo, which Jay and Tim interpret as portraying a chaotic argument. Additionally, humorous hypothetical scenarios and tangents are shared, reflecting the hosts' dynamic and engaging discussion style. The episode concludes with anticipation for a follow-up discussion focused on the song's lyrics. Audience interaction is encouraged through social media and email.

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.
