Despite the group's five superstars, the Traveling Wilburys have been covered less than you might think. Today the show investigates covers of both the few songs lots of artists cover (Handle with Care, End of the Line) and the many more Wilburys tunes that have only been covered once or twice.
Songs in this episode include:
- Headstones — Tweeter and the Monkey Man
- Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins — Handle with Care
- Dr. John ft. Aaron Neville — End Of The Line
- Petr Rezek & Karel Vágner — Jak Ty To Děláš [Congratulations]
- The Sweetback Sisters — Rattled

- Adrian Belew — Not Alone Anymore SHOW CONTINUES ON THE EXTENDED EDITION

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.
