Welcome to episode 97 of The BBT! In this installment, we are in conversation with Allen Frishman, the Archival Officer for the Catskills Borscht Belt Museum. Allen has lived his entire life in Sullivan County where both his grandparents owned bungalow colonies. He ran a business creating architectural scale models for developers and builders, and for 24 years, he was the Code Enforcement Officer for the town of Fallsburg.
The many artifacts he saved from destruction during those years form one of the most significant collections of Borscht Belt ephemera. He is the author of two books, Tales of a Catskill Mountain Plumber and More Borscht From A Catskill Mountain Plumber.

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.
