This is one of the episodes that for me, falls into the "pleasant surprise" category. First of all, Mike was so much fun to chat with, and as I mentioned back then in the notes below, this interview was very educational. And "Earth Station One" is still out there for you to enjoy, too!

Not to sound like a broken record (Um, doesn't a broken record make no sound?) but I love episodes where I get to learn stuff. Mike Faber was the perfect guy to introduce me to the "con" (convention) world. Especially for someone who's gone for a long time.And I learned about Dr. Who! Who? Oh, I'm not starting that again...His collection of Pops was unbelievable too. I'd never heard of them until this interview. I better not start collecting anything else, or the Sherpa bride may want to start collecting alimony checks! ( I'm kidding Rebels...KIDDING!) Much appreciation to Mike for the lessons!

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.
