This isn’t just nostalgia — it’s history made personal. Shane Hewitt opens Throwback Thursday with a solo tour through 1980, blending hard numbers and soft memories into a sharp look at how much has changed — and what still hits the same.
From Pierre Trudeau’s return to office to the soaring cost of homes, Shane unpacks a year that shaped the world. Remember when groceries cost $80 a week? When John Lennon’s death was announced mid-game? When TVs were basically furniture? This is 1980 seen through lived memory — full of perspective, stats, pop culture, and that signature Shane blend of curiosity and clarity.

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.
