"A Nervous System Revolution," hosted by Ruby Rose Fox, is a groundbreaking podcast that addresses a critical aspect often overlooked in the arts: the artist's nervous system. Targeting artists grappling with challenges like stage fright, depression, anxiety, and perfectionism, it's an eye-opener in an industry where 73% of musicians report mental health issues. This podcast challenges the romanticized notion of the 'tortured artist,' proving that creative excellence doesn't require mental distress.

Ruby introduces listeners to innovative concepts like the polyvagal theory, emphasizing the importance of understanding our nervous system, not as a complex scientific puzzle, but as a fundamental tool for artistic expression. She critiques traditional theater and music programs, advocating for a trauma-informed approach in arts education.

Sharing personal anecdotes, including her journey and her grandmother's influence, Ruby establishes a deep connection with her audience. Her stories illustrate the consequences of neglecting nervous system health, highlighting her transformation upon embracing polyvagal theory.

The podcast aims to empower artists through nervous system literacy, offering insights into neuroception and the importance of language in articulating our experiences. Ruby's Muscle Music is more than a podcast; it's a certification program and a 'nervous system gym,' providing resources for artists to regulate their nervous systems.

Join Ruby in this revolutionary movement to redefine artistic training and performance, prioritizing nervous system health as the foundation of creativity and well-being in the arts.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
