Since we last chatted about supersonic travel in our first season there has been substantial progress made towards accessible, supersonic commercial travel becoming a reality for us all. In this episode, the guys discuss the recent accomplishments of NASA’s X-59 QueSST and Boom Supersonic’s “Baby Boom” - namely how they are making supersonic travel a quieter proposition.
But before we dive into supersonic booms, it turns out the UK really wants access to everyone’s digital everything - not just the Brits data. Fortunately, Apple is (trying to) do something about it.

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.
