Ep. 137: Will Oldham talks about "Babble" by Kevin Coyne and Dagmar Krause and some other stuff...
It was such an honor to get to talk to Will Oldham as I've been a fan of his music and film work for decades. This chat is based on an album called "Babble" by Kevin Coyne and Dagmar Krause made in 1979 that had a huge impact on his life and music. That led to chatting about another album that was a huge influence "Hi, How Are You" by Daniel Johnston. Then we get into theater and more. Will was so thoughtful, generous, and kind to talk to. I have to admit to this being one of the biggest honors I've had so far in doing the podcast. Please enjoy and make sure to listen to both albums (before or after).

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.
