Today, Andrew and Jessie explain themselves (mainly why there isn't an Author Spotlight podcast, etc.) Don't worry, everything is great, we're just slowing things down a bit and re-calibrating because big things are ahead for both the business and our family.
We're kind of jealous of Mark Salzwedel. He's an incredible writer, a composer, an artist who grew up with an artistic childhood, and much more. As our first spotlight of 2025, he's the writer of a lovely little short sci-fi piece titled An Unexpected Cookie, of which you can hear him read an excerpt in this episode.
Follow Mark in all the places and keep an eye out for his upcoming book, Time Bump.

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.
