When you think about the association between climate change and disaster, some of the links may seem obvious. For example, it makes sense that as the climate gets warmer, there will be more drought leading to less food and increasing famine, and starvation. But, did you know that increased temperatures are also associated with increased violence and thus linked to civil unrest? In this episode we will discuss the many links between climate crisis and both natural and manmade disasters with Dr. David Calloway who, in addition to being an emergency medicine physician is also the Chief Medical Officer for Team Rubicon, A member of the nineth class of Presidential Leadership Scholars during which time he evaluated the US health systems impact on the environment.

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.
