Strap in because a conversation with King Princess is an unstoppable stream of top-notch banter, whipsmart quips, real talk, and tea. Brooklyn-born Mikaela Strauss joins on the couch for the first time to discuss her third album, Girl Violence, her hookiest, most vulnerable record to date. Since dropping ‘1950’ back in 2018 when she was still a teenager (it became a viral sensation; Harry Styles tweeted about it), the singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist has upped the ante with every release.
With Girl Violence the 26-year-old holds a magnifying glass to drama, heartbreak, and “emotional warfare” of lesbian relationships. We take a deep dive into her theories and the stories behind her songs, plus her fantastical queer dress-up party Bazongas (you’re invited), the fetishistic angle of her Instagram algorithm, how she got the iconic Lisa Rena to take part in her album campaign, and who the hell is chaos-demon Cherry.
She also discusses collaborating with IDLES’ Joe Talbot, jumping in the studio with Charli XCX, and what it’s like to go from zero to 100 on your first release — the pressure, the ego, the destabilization. Plus there’s a whole sidebar about her former home in LA being invaded by 30,000 bees and we get the full story of her great-great grandparents, who were immortalized as the old couple spooning in bed in James Cameron’s Titanic. No, really.

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.
