After we -- Kelli and Sue -- get done rehashing our very glittery evening at a swank dinner and other neighborhood goings-on, we welcome our special guest Tonya Hancock, Nashville Metro Council Member for District 9, to talk about getting the attention of lawmakers to press an issue: how to find their contact information; what makes a good email, text, or voicemail; what *not* to do; and why we're drinking coffee and not alcohol for this prerecorded interview (hint, it was 8 o'clock in the morning and we were at the local Madtown Coffee shop).
Not to worry, though, we rectify that with mimosas and beer when we get back in the studio to record the rest of the episode. Which includes talk of "transgender" mice (clue: not a thing) and a farewell to a Very Good Dog.
So please join us on our audio front porch, grab a drink, and solve all the world's problems.
Oh, and check our website and socials for Tonya's Madison Margarita recipe ... yum!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
