Rural Reflections
Rural Reflections is a simple approach to daily life viewed from a rural perspective. Grant Nelson is a columnist and podcaster who has written for several area media outlets for almost 22 years. This podcast will take you back to your childhood, or it may make today’s technology seem a bit simpler-or just make you feel good. Grant often writes a letter to his brother, Dave Nelson, who lives in Carrington, North Dakota then invites listeners to peer over his shoulder and hear what he has to say. Rural Reflections is a podcast where it is always Sunday morning.

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.
