E11: I like women who speak.

April 10, 2018 • 63 mins
The music that captivates us is often an extention of oneself. In the 90s, that is exactly what Tori Amos was for our friend Sam. Who knew that a casual Saturday night watching SNL would blossom into a musical relationship for over 20 years? Tori Amos and many other ‘vocal brauds’ are raw and real. They speak, we listen. Now hear our friend Sam tell us why she likes “women who talk about stuff.”

February 19, 2018 • 44 mins
There’s been a lot of talk about representation, in media especially. How does it affect a person to not have a figure to relate to? This week we talk to our friend Kevin about what it means to see someone like you, doing what you want to be doing.

Meet Martha. An adorable human from Arizona who loves sad Indie Rock music, particularily any project that features Conor Oberst.

E05: The kid from the firehall.

January 30, 2018 • 54 mins
On this episode we talk to our friend Evan. He enjoys 90s dance music, riding in sad cars, U2 and most importantly a little band called Jimmy Eat World. He shares his stories of traveling near and far (mostly far) to see said band. For most of us, traveling to see bands is a adventure all on its own. For Evan, that adventure is slightly more complicated due to him having Cerebral Palsy. CP may have made being in the pit slightly ch...

On this episode, our friend Dan takes us back in time through the wonderful world of the NYC hardcore scene in the mid-to-late 90s. The trip includes, but is not limited to, how Staten Island became populated, the madness that ‘was’ St Mark’s, proof that Coney Island High was a school for learning how to survive in less than stellar conditions, and that there is nothing better than a bacon, egg and cheese on a roll. So sit back, re...

    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.
