In this week's episode, the Flora Fellas discuss another scary topic just in time for spooky season: GMOs (genetically modified organisms)! What are they, how do they differ from traditional hybridized plants, and are they really something to be concerned about? The pair gets into some of the differences between how GMOs have been treated in Europe vs. the United States, as well as some more recent developments on how new GMO and gene editing technologies have been reshaping some of those viewpoints. Listen to find out about Nick's Poison Ivy Challenge, Ethan's surprise gift live on air, and some bonus information about EWG's Clean 15/Dirty Dozen lists for pesticides in produce!

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.
