All Episodes

December 11, 2022 • 44 mins

A man often in the headlines for his antics on and off the field, James Haskell was a formidable flanker and even bigger character. Following an illustrious career in the game, James has gone on to become a best-selling author, podcaster and mental health advocate. His wife, Chloe Madeley, calls him ‘rugby’s answer to Donald Trump’ because of his tendency to speak his mind. James tells John Sweeney why his wife was being rude, how he turned his first rugby set-back into a success and what happened when he met former England Rugby Head Coach, Eddie Jones for the first time.

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.
