This Big Blend Radio conversation with debut author Claudia Daher dives into her powerful new science fiction novel, “R.A.T.S: Revolutionary Army of Teens – We Are One” (Pegasus Publishing, September 28, 2025). The story follows a diverse group of teens secretly training in an alternate reality video game to defend Earth against water-stealing aliens — a thrilling adventure that bridges timelines from ancient Atlantis to a near-future Earth facing climate catastrophe.
In celebration of Unity Day and Global Appreciation Month, Claudia shares her belief in the power of love, respect, and unity to overcome global challenges. The discussion explores humanity’s deep interconnectedness with nature, the consequences of our actions, and how ambition and responsibility shape the future of our planet.
As Claudia says, “Everything is connected for us. Sooner or later, there is cause and effect.”

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.
