For our final week of June reruns, Kendra brings you the story of Travis Walton. Travis went missing for 5 days in the 1970s outside of Snowflake, Arizona. Seven of his coworkers witnessed Travis being struck by a light that was emitted from what they all believed was a flying saucer. When Travis showed back up several days later, disoriented but overall okay, he had a wild tale to share about his time onboard an alien spacecraft. His account would later be made into the 1980s movie Fire in the Sky.
Listen now for all of the details on this alien abduction story and tune in next week for an all new episode from Jessica!

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.
