The number one movie in the United States is 'The Truman Show.' NBC ruled television, with 'Friends,' 'E.R.', and 'Seinfeld' dominating the ratings. Brandy and Monica were on top of the music charts, and, oh, and 'Sex and the City' aired its first episode. Welcome to 'Shortcomings,' a new 'Sex and the City' podcast from Sam Bush (aka @bravohistorian) and Chris Lewis. They're going all-in on our problematic fave — the memories, the men, the fashion, and, of course, Aidan's obsession with KFC. Sam and Chris will recap all 92 episodes of the series, two movies, and whatever the revival is. So grab a cosmo and join Sam and Chris in taking a critical eye to a show that changed television.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-18T08:19:48.246590+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shortcomings-4488124"},"episode":{"title":"Girls - Hostage Situation","slug":"girls-hostage-situation","published_at":"2025-12-18T17:43:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shortcomings-4488124/girls-hostage-situation","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shortcomings-4488124","url":"https://shortcomings.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/fc130c06-d590-42b2-8c7a-533cd7955a97.mp3","summary":"Happy Holidays, Happy Holidays - we're back to cover a doozy of an episode, but before that we discuss the new trailer for Melania and Sam's continued journey with those Wives that are Sisters.
