Dialog as an engine, that’s craft.
Learn to write dialogue that jumps off the page and into your reader's mind. This podcast breaks down the fundamental principles of crafting conversation that serves a purpose. Go beyond the basics of "talking" and learn how to use dialogue to advance your plot, reveal a character's true nature, build thematic depth, and create conflict.
Discover the art of writing dialogue that sounds authentic without being a word-for-word transcript of real-life conversation, and how to give each of your characters a unique voice that reflects their background and personality.
We'll also explore the power of subtext—the unspoken meaning behind the words—and how to use dialogue to "show, not tell" the story. Finally, learn the importance of keeping your dialogue lean and impactful by cutting out unnecessary words and avoiding information dumps.
Whether you're a writer, a screenwriter, or simply a fan of great storytelling, this podcast will change the way you hear and read every conversation.

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.
