In this iconic and unfiltered episode, host Jove Meyer is joined by none other than Candace Bushnell—creator of Sex and the City, bestselling author, and feminist firestarter.
Candace shares the real stories behind Carrie Bradshaw, how her own NYC adventures became television gold, and the wild ride of dating, disco, and defining womanhood on her own terms.
Episode Highlights: • How a column in the New York Observer turned into a cultural phenomenon • Moving to New York in the gritty glam of the late ’70s—and heading straight to Studio 54 • The real-life women behind the SATC characters—and why Carrie was her sassier alter ego • Her whirlwind three-month romance turned Nantucket wedding (with a swan lift!) • Getting real about love, marriage, divorce, and dating again (yes, even senior-age players!) • All the juicy details about her one-woman show True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex and the City
If you've ever dreamed of sipping cosmos with Carrie, questioned the myths of marriage, or wanted a peek behind the pages of one of pop culture’s most iconic voices—this episode is everything.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
