Deb and Bill discuss the Inflation Reduction Act. What's in the Act, and will it really do what its ambitious title promises? Are there any surprises hidden within? What is it designed to do? From energy to the IRS, we discuss all that and more in today's episode.
"In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.” ― James Madison

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.
