Why Sarah Jessica Parker Listens to PTFO

EPISODE 399: The patron saint of pheromones.

One of my goals with PTFO is for you to be surprised by what any given show is gonna be about.

Some days we’ll be investigating an endless NBA scandal. Other days we’ll be marking the 10-year anniversary of the assassination of a gorilla by showing you an exclusive, never-before-seen video of that gorilla eating [REDACTED].

But here we’re bringing you a person of interest — a patron saint, of sorts — whose entry into our cinematic universe is a surprise to me.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s collection of Emmys and Golden Globes does not begin to describe what is now a five-decade career in public performance, ever since she was a child actor in Hollywood and on Broadway and other such Manhattan sidewalks. You of course know her from her role as a relentlessly fashionable newspaper columnist named Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City — and if you don’t, it is extremely funny that this is how you’re finding out about that.

But Sarah Jessica’s voiceovers, her narrations, as seen and heard on HBO, in the late 90s and into the 2000s, became a template unto themselves.

It got to the point where receiving a voice note from that same woman felt exhilarating. And also, honestly, confusing.
