Excuse My Grandma’s Take on Sex and the City—Then and Now (Ft. Candace Bushnell)

Excuse My Grandma’s Take on Sex and the City—Then and Now (Ft. Candace Bushnell)

On this episode of Excuse My Grandma, Kim and Grandma Gail are joined by the iconic Candace Bushnell—the woman who changed the way we talk about dating with Sex and the City . Kim and Gail catch up on their July 4th weekends (including an unplanned dinner at the same restaurant), then dive into Sex and the City nostalgia: landlines, Manolos, cosmos, and breakups via Post‑it notes.

Later, they’ll ask Candace about her striking, candid essay in The Cut—“Sex After 60 in Sag Harbor”—in which she explores the sometimes bleak, often hilarious realities of dating in your 60s: age gaps, ghosting, male entitlement, and the bittersweet liberty of loving—or not needing—to love again. Read it here: https://www.thecut.com/article/candace-bushnell-dating-after-60-hamptons-love-sex-aging.html

Stay tuned for a conversation about what’s changed—and what hasn’t—when it comes to relationships in your 60s, writing your own story, and finding connection in places like Palm Beach, Manhattan, and beyond.
