The world's heaviest grunge band is back. We sat down with Ben Hoagland of The Extortionist to dig into the band’s long-awaited revival and the impact of their fourth album, “Stare Into the Seething Wounds,” now out on Unique Leader Records. We talked Texas vs. Idaho life, the chemistry that keeps the band sharp—especially Ben’s creative back-and-forth with Riker Morrow—and how Alice In Chains’ “Rooster” unexpectedly sparked the vision behind their cover art. A raw, unfiltered look at a band stepping confidently into their next era. Tune in now be sure to buy and stream The Extortionist's new album, out now worldwide via Unique Leader Records.

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.
