Tefi Pessoa | The Pop Culture Historian Who’s Lived 1,000 Lives — Including as a Large Scottish Man!
#866. Kaitlyn sits down with the internet’s favorite pop culture historian, astrology girlie, and professional yapper — Tefi Pessoa. From being the “worst receptionist” to landing her own talk show, going viral on TikTok, and now launching her new podcast Tefi Talks with Vox Media, Tefi takes us through the unfiltered evolution of her career. The two cover everything from past life regressions (turns out Tefi was once a large Scottish man), to surviving on olives and noodles in New York, dodging the male gaze, and what it’s really like interviewing icons like Nicole Kidman on the red carpet. Plus, she shares the advice she gives online (and sometimes needs to take herself), her karaoke lineup, and why Stevie Nicks would be her dream gossip partner! It’s the ultimate girl gossip sesh — tune in now!

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.
