Nick Kirby and Craig Sandlin grade and review Terry Francona’s first season as Cincinnati Reds manager, breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly from the 2025 Cincinnati Reds season. They discuss what went right, what went wrong, and what Francona and the Reds need to improve heading into the 2026 MLB season. Plus, updates on Cincinnati Reds prospects — including Cam Collier, Rhett Lowder, Alfredo Duno, and more — from the Arizona Fall League. Nick and Craig also react to Game 7 of the ALCS between the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays, the Los Angeles Dodgers returning to the World Series, and how the looming MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) expiration after 2026 could impact the league.

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.
