In this episode of Fright Talk, the hosts delve into an often overlooked source of fear—natural disasters. From hurricanes to tornadoes, the conversation explores how these natural phenomena trigger deep-seated anxieties in humans. The Fright Talk guys share personal anecdotes and reminisce about past experiences with hurricanes like Andrew and Wilma, highlighting how these events shape our perceptions and fears.
They discuss the unpredictability of weather events, the anxiety caused by this uncertainty, and how environmental upbringing factors into our reactions to nature's wrath. The hosts also ponder whether natural disasters themselves can be viewed as monsters and what influence movies and media have on amplifying these fears.
The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences and phobias related to natural disasters, inviting them to view these fears as a source of creative inspiration, whether through writing, painting, or other forms of artistic expression.

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.
