Foreplay & First Drafts
Welcome to Foreplay & First Drafts – where psychological thrillers have emotional orgasms and my characters commit relationship crimes before breakfast. I'm Kitty Winslow, and I'm dragging you into the beautiful disaster of my creative process. If you've ever found yourself writing love scenes at 3 AM while researching "untraceable poisons that taste like cinnamon," congratulations – you've found your people. Each episode is part writing autopsy, part craft seduction, and part confession booth for the emotionally chaotic characters living rent-free in my brain. We're talking character development that leaves fingerprints on your soul, plot twists that feel like emotional whiplash, and the delicious psychology behind why we want our fictional lovers to be both dangerously broken and heartbreakingly tender. I'm building my Stillwater series from the foundation up, and I'm bringing you along for every existential crisis, every "what if they kissed while hiding the body?" moment, and every time I fall in love with a character I'm planning to emotionally destroy. For writers craving stories with psychological depth and readers who want to peek behind the rough draft – welcome to the delicious disaster. We're still in the foreplay stage of this podcast, darlings, and I promise it only gets messier, sexier, and more psychologically complicated from here.

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.
