Reggie Watts is a musician, comedian, actor, improvisor, host, band leader, philosopher, beatboxer, and activist. You might know him from his run on The Late Late Show with James Corden and from numerous collaborations with some of the world's greatest comedians and performers. You may also appreciate his presence on social media where he speaks his mind openly and passionately. On The Good Standing Podcast, Reggie goes deeper into his thoughts on the direct economy, which is a paradigm that honors and recognizes that artists deserve to be the primary financial beneficiaries of the work they put out into the world. He outlines how fans can directly support artists to create a more sustainable and ethical creator industry. This episode releases directly on the heels of (but was filmed before) the somewhat sudden announcement that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (CBS) will be entirely ending in May, 2026 with no successor, likely due to backdoor politicking as much as the shifting financial realities of network television. To be expected, Reggie brings a tremendous amount of humor, lyrical dexterity, and good vibes to this conversation, along with his intelligent diagnoses of the media landscape as it stands.

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.
