Kristin Davis is spilling details about her upcoming ‘Sex and the City’ podcast, “Are You a Charlotte?”
“This is probably old news to you,” she told People. “No one’s asked me ‘Are you a Charlotte?’ in a long time. It used to be the main question that people would ask me in interviews. I think everyone just assumes that I am at this point.”
The new podcast, which will air via iHeartRadio, will feature Davis as she discusses about the legacy of the HBO series, women empowerment and, of course, sex. “There have been numerous people who have asked me over the years to do different versions of a podcast relating to the show,” she says. “But this time it felt right because our goal is to revisit the themes that the show brought up that are still so relevant today.”
Playing the role of Charlotte York since the hit series first hit TV screens in 1998, the 59-year-old believes the show’s impact on society continues to reverberate. “When you think about the fact that we made the pilot in 1997,” Davis noted, “which is so crazy, first of all, and in the pilot we talk about basically ghosting, though we don’t use that word yet because it hadn’t been coined as such at that time.”
“We’re definitely at a different place culturally, in terms of how we think about relationships and talk about relationships and sex. But I feel like a lot of the things that the show brought up originally, which were so kind of scandalous and shocking at the time now are very commonly discussed. And so I love that kind of evolution and I love being able to use the show as a jumping off point into those discussions.”

Davis also says that through the years, the way she identifies with her optimistic, hopeless romantic character Charlotte has evolved.
“I mean, I would say I’m a Charlotte with some Carrie mixed in. I’m probably more of a free spirit than Charlotte, in terms of my priorities in life,” Davis explains. “One of her main focuses has always been getting married, which has not been one of my focuses. Of course, it’s hard to be objective.”
And as for whether fans can expect cast members like Sarah Jessica Parker to make appearances on the podcast, Davis teased, “You’ll have to wait and see!”
“Are You a Charlotte?” premieres Jan. 13 on iHeartRadio.
