Take your final bows and bring out the ghost light. Being in a show on Broadway is the dream of every musical theater lover and triple-threat hopeful, but that dream can be dashed just as quickly as it is inspired. This week we sat down with the cast of Diary of a Dame whose new Broadway musical has just closed unexpectedly. They pull back the curtain for us as they plan for what the future holds and reminisce about their time on the stage together. Let’s listen in!
This week’s guest is the incomparable Chris Renfro. They are hot off their run in Oh, Mary! on Broadway and in their new role as Artistic Director of UCB so catch them at UCB, on their podcast One of Us, and on Instagram @themeatskeleton!

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.
