Spring break is upon us, dear listeners. We did our best to release another polished, high-quality episode of Nonsense that you’ve come to love every Thursday morning. Instead, you’re getting something brand new - an episode of “Nonsense Unplugged.” This is possibly the first ever “acoustic podcast”; no music, no recommendations, no ads - just cj & Jeff chatting about a couple of news articles.
It’s different and familiar, both at the same time; mildly concerning, calming, and hair-raising. You’re going to love it - and either way, let us know what you think about making “Nonsense Unplugged” a thing of the future.

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.
