Podcast Summary – Prepping Academy Podcast: “VPNs Explained – The First Line of Defense for Online Privacy”

In this powerful episode of The Prepping Academy Podcast, host Forrest Garvin exposes the truth about VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) — what they really do, how they work, and which ones you can actually trust. As online tracking, censorship, and surveillance continue to rise, using a VPN has become a critical step in protecting your privacy, security, and freedom online.

Forrest breaks down how VPNs encrypt your data, hide your location, and shield your digital activity from hackers, corporations, and even your internet provider. You’ll discover the top VPNs for privacy, the red flags to avoid, and why many “free” VPNs are more dangerous than helpful. Plus, he shares insider tips on using VPNs with your smartphones, routers, and streaming devices for complete protection.

If you value anonymity, freedom, and security in a connected world, this episode is a must-listen. Learn how to stay invisible online — the right way.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
