We are here with actor, singer, and entertainer Roslyn Kind. You Might Know Her From: The Look of Love/The Island, 3 From Brooklyn, The Nanny, I'm Going to Be Famous, Ladies of the House, Gimme a Break, and her over 50-year illustrious recording career. We talked to Roslyn about signing to RCA Records as just a 17-year-old girl, lampooning her famous sister Barbra Streisand in an iconic episode of The Nanny, and her latest projects that retells two of her signature songs into a short film. Roslyn also gave us the goods on blood harmony with her mother and Babs, her British invasion influences, the challenge of making “People” hers in her Broadway debut, and set the record on her theatrical credits because you know You Might Know Her is always going to dig some old shet up. This was just a beautiful Roslyn Kind-shaped bow to close out 2024, our year of Barbra, after reading her 900-page magnum opus. Rozzie, we love you.

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.
