National security and intelligence expert Professor Armin Krishnan returns to the program to break down the rapidly expanding world of directed-energy weapons—systems once written off as science fiction that are now actively shaping modern conflict. He explains how microwave, electromagnetic, and acoustic weapons have moved from experimental prototypes to commercially booming tools of warfare, driven by governments and private defense contractors alike. These technologies are no longer theoretical; they are part of an accelerating global arms race.

Krishnan also warns that today’s battlefield is no longer limited to militaries. Civilians are increasingly the targets, whether in political hotspots, urban environments, or covert operations where deniability is essential. We explore how this shift in warfare—from fighting soldiers to influencing, disabling, or monitoring populations—signals a profound transformation in national security. This is a conversation for anyone who wants to understand the future of conflict and the technologies quietly reshaping it.

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.
