Pam Drucker-Mann is the CEO and co-founder of the newly launched Run-A-Muck, alongside two wonderful The L Word alumni: the iconic Jennifer Beals (see ep 1 of the 94%) and uber-showrunner Ilene Chaiken.
Run-A-Muck is a next-gen media company determined to transform The L Word into the The L World. Creating content for a hungry built-in audience.
And Pam knows a thing or two about world-wide reach - she's been a real super-power when it comes to how the world thinks. Working at Conde Nast Publishing House for almost twenty years, ultimately becoming their first female global CRO (Chief Revenue Officer), Pam has successfully helped steer global mega-magazines like Vogue, Wired, GQ, and The New Yorker, through pretty choppy years as publications learnt to embrace the digital world.
But now she’s left that lofty role at Conde Naste to build a new world order, with Jennifer and Ilene acting as co-chief content creators.
Run-A-Muck aims to create new franchises and projects across streaming, podcasts, live events, sport... you name it, they’re creating it.
Pam's a New Yorker at heart, and in this fast, funny and savvy conversation, Pam reveals
We're definitely keeping the conversation going with Pam, and you can too by following her Pam Drucker-Mann and Run-a-Muck.
94% of women working in C-suite executive roles played sport at a younger age,
52% at university level*.
In all walks of life, not just the C-Suite, participation in sport from an early age promotes professional excellence, in whatever field a woman moves into. And that’s a fact.
Sport helps develop resilience, discipline and teamwork. Together these form a holy trinity for success.
Hosts Rachel Shelley (Helena Peabody on TV’s The L Word, gay icon and mother to a teen girl in London) and Dublin’s Nikki Symmons (former international hockey and cricket player for 13 years, Ireland’s first female athlete to come out as gay and a specialised DEI advisor) talk to some of your favourite high-achieving women from all walks of life, about how their sporting experiences have shaped them in weird, wonderful and often whacky ways. With a lot of laughter en route.
They discuss the wild and varied parallels they see between competitive sport and their real-life experiences.

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.
