In this episode of Dope Interviews, we sit down with Jason Gallagher, one of the most creative minds in sports media today. From his humble beginnings as a passionate Dallas Mavericks fan to becoming a celebrated Emmy award-winning director, Jason shares his unique journey through the sports media landscape.

Discover how a quirky musical about the 2011 NBA lockout grabbed the attention of Bill Simmons and opened doors at Grantland and The Ringer. Jason gives a behind-the-scenes look at his work on The Old Man and the Three podcast with JJ Redick, landing the director job of LeBron James' Mind the Game podcast and his latest documentary series on ESPN, Clutch: The NBA Playoffs.

He dives deep into the creative process, the power of relationships, and how he balances an intense career with family life. Plus, Jason hints at exciting projects on the horizon and reflects on the importance of talent and industry knowledge for success.

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.
