The twins discuss Charlotte, N.C., where they both lived at different times.  And as usually happens, they also travel down a primrose path - lighting on topics such as Noel Coward, their acting careers that never happened, chihuahuas, parrots, current reads, perceived reality and more, including a gem from the music archive.
