Pirate radio stations emerged in the 1960s as a rebellious response to strict broadcasting regulations in the UK, offering a vibrant alternative to the conservative programming of the BBC. These offshore stations, like Radio Caroline, not only provided a platform for popular music but also became symbols of youth culture and defiance against authority. As they gained popularity, they reshaped the music landscape, allowing bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to reach audiences eager for fresh sounds. However, the pirate radio movement faced significant pushback from the government, leading to legal crackdowns and the eventual implementation of the Marine Offenses Act in 1967. This episode explores the rise and fall of pirate radio, its cultural impact, and how its legacy continues to influence music and media today, even in the digital age.

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.
