So You Want to Be a Hero
Interlude 1: A Red Pantheon's Embrace Content warning: violence, mature language, sexual themes
A long time ago, when most of our Merry Band of Heroes was but a twinkle in the Goddess Esneas’s eye, five best friends spent the winter holiday break together at the Institute of Inspiration. Left virtually unattended by the school faculty, these carefree students anticipated a few days of mischief-making and merriment before classes resumed. But on the eve of this year's Pantheon's Embrace, something far darker began to stir.

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.
