Jacqui Just Chatters celebrates Christmas with a special vintage radio mystery drama. Alice is visiting her Uncle Richard and Aunt Edith’s estate in the Hudson River Valley for the holidays. Cousin Dorothy is up from St. Louis to celebrate with her parents. A stranger, Arthur, from England, is also in residence. Alice has planned a surprise for her strait-laced blue-blood family. Her New York City police detective boyfriend is joining the gang, which turns out helpful when someone gets murdered. After a snowstorm cuts them off, they must figure out who-dun-it.
Listeners can join in the fun. Grab your deerstalker hat and magnifying glass and see if you can figure out who’s behind A Deadly Holiday on the Hudson before the reveal.
Mysteries are more fun to solve as a group, so grab some friends and listen together.

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.
