What happens when you spend over a decade talking about one distinct topic? You kind of want to talk about ANYTHING else. This week’s guest, the illustrious Tan France, has drifted into that exact cycle with fashion. So, Kal and Tan go on a much-needed tangent about…everything but fashion. This week, it’s all on the table. They explain exactly why diversifying conversation about other skillsets and cultural touch-points is healthy for the wider entertainment industry. From conspiracy theories to judging petty disagreements, and even Kal’s role on the hit HBO show, “Industry” (Spoilers abound!), there is no shortage of enlightening topics for two entertainers.

Why do we as Americans flock to Medical Dramas like rabbits to aromatic herbs? We can’t get enough! Since 1951, starting with City Hospital, there have been 140 medical TV shows on air, which is insane. Some have even gone on for over 21 years, "Greys Anatomy" we’re looking at you. This week, Kal sits down with Simran Baidwan, executive producer and writer of the Emmy-winning TV show "The Pitt". She's also a writer and producer of "The Good Doctor", "Chicago Med", "Royal Pains", and her first job in Hollywood was actually on "House", so if anyone out there knows about the healthcare industry on screen, it's Simran.
