On this episode of Tuna On Toast, Stryker interviews Jimmy Eat World singer Jim Adkins. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Jimmy Eat World has released 10 studio albums. Jim tells Stryker all about their early days in Mesa, Arizona, including some of their first shows. Jim also reveals how a side hustle acting as concert promoters helped Jimmy Eat World get discovered, and shares his appreciation for the help Blink 182 and Green Day gave his band. Stryker digs into Jimmy Eat World's many hits, including "The Middle" -- which Jim admitted he never expected to become a timeless track. How did a Playstation game impact the creation of "Get It Faster"? Why does Mark Hoppus send Jim a yearly text about "Let It Happen"? And what made "Hear You Me" a risky song to include on their 'Bleed American' album? Jim tells these stories and more. Plus, how does Jim Adkins really feel about being called "emo"?

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.
