The holiday of Christmas, often criticized for its commercialization, has a rich and complex history that dates back centuries. This episode delves into the origins of Christmas traditions, tracing how they have evolved and adapted over time, often blending with pagan customs. It also addresses the misconception that Christmas was simply stolen from other cultural celebrations, emphasizing that the date of December 25th was established long before it became widely celebrated. As we explore the historical significance of Christmas, we challenge the narrative that the holiday has lost its true meaning, highlighting the generosity and spirit of giving that permeate the season. Join us as we uncover the fascinating interplay of history, tradition, and modern interpretation surrounding this beloved holiday.

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.
