Echospective

Echospective

A podcast that is/isn’t about music. So what does that mean? There are many things in our lives that try to pull is in one direction or another. Yes or no. Right or wrong. Left or right. Stop or go. You get the idea. Sometimes we need to find some balance. Some...perspective. Sometimes we need to hear someone’s story. It’s not always an easy thing to achieve because it may be hard to find common ground with others. The Echospective podcast strives to find that balance, that common ground. One of the things that binds us together is...music. We all have a favorite song. We all have a favorite band. If there’s something we could all sit down and agree on...it’s music. Join Markese and Nathan as they provide a platform for those stories to be told. Where others’ experiences, passions, successes and failures have shaped them into who they are today. The conversations start with music but end with an understanding. If you like stories and the arts with a little humor peppered in...you will love Echospective!

First of all, please forgive my stuffiness! The crud had hit our household but I didn't want to wait too long to air a recap...so apologies!

We dive deep into episode two this week and man what an episode it was! I really loved the fact that we got to time jump and go back to the night of the "overtime contingency plan" and peek a little more into what happened once the seasone one finale ended.

    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.
