This episode is a return visit for Robbie Gillett, a talented poet who lives with MS. We talked about Robbie's initial struggles with his diagnosis and how it led him to writing poetry as a form of therapy and self-expression. With the support of his wife, who encouraged him to share his work, Robbie has used his poetry to raise awareness and provide hope to others.
Robbie talked about his upcoming projects including a show and book titled "I Don't Like Poetry," which challenges stereotypes and perceptions about poetry.
Robbie's message to newly diagnosed individuals is to reach out and connect with others in the MS community, emphasizing the support and understanding that can be found through shared experiences. His upcoming book release in September will further showcase his talent and dedication to raising awareness about MS and mental health.

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.
