In this episode I am joined by Katia Dragotis, the COO and Co-Founder of 'Purple Banter,' where she wrangles microphones and unruly podcast hosts with equal finesse. With a career that's more twisty than a rollercoaster designed by a mad scientist, Katia has spent over a decade in the sports and entertainment industry, proving that life is just one big improv show, and she's the star player.
Starting as an on-camera host and reporter, Katia quickly realized that talking about other people's achievements was fun, but creating her own chaos was even better. Enter 'Purple Banter,' where she's the puppet master behind the scenes, ensuring that every podcast episode is a delightful blend of insight, laughter, and the occasional goat noise (because why not?).
Described as the Rubik's Cube of personalities, Katia is the puzzle everyone wants to solve but ends up just admiring from a distance.
Some say she's the only person who can simultaneously run a podcast network and organize a spontaneous dance-off in the office kitchen.
Katia Dragotis is the maestro of 'Purple Banter' and the reigning queen of turning chaos into comedy. So, grab your headphones, brace yourself for a rollercoaster of laughter, and join Katia on this podcasting journey where every episode is a surprise party she didn't know she was hosting.
Described as the Rubik's Cube of personalities, Katia is the puzzle everyone wants to solve but ends up just admiring from a distance. She's the reason the office coffee machine has a panic button and the emergency kit includes both a stapler and a stress ball.
Hailing from the land of 10,000 lakes (and probably 10,000 more podcast ideas), Minneapolis, Minnesota, Katia proudly brings her Greek-American flair to the palm tree-filled chaos of Los Angeles. She's the only person who can seamlessly transition from discussing the latest sports scores to passionately arguing about the proper way to pronounce "gyro."

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.
