    Jul 28 2026

    HOST: Hildy Grossman CO-HOST: Jordan Rich

    GUESTS: John Lamb, Taylor Kirkwood, and Hildy Grossman

    What does it take to build a musical—and turn personal tragedy into a mission? Join hosts Hildy Grossman & Jordan Rich with guests John Lamb and Taylor Kirkwood. Together, they pull back the curtain on the 20-year journey of Ziegfeld! What started as a Broadway tribute grew into a story of ambition, glamour, and grit. When Hildy faced an unexpected lung cancer diagnosis, the show took on a new purpose. Original composer Seth Rubin completed the score before tragically losing his life to lung cancer. After new script edits, composer Taylor Kirkwood joined the team to write two final songs. Now, Upstage Lung Cancer presents an exclusive workshop/concert on August 9, 2026. ULC is the only organization using performing arts to fund early-detection research. With over $4.5 million raised to date, art and community are actively saving lives. Audience feedback will help shape Ziegfeld! while every ticket supports the cause. Tune in for an intimate conversation on passion, heartbreaking loss, and creative victory. Discover how a shared love for the theater transformed into a lifesaving movement. Listen now and learn how you can be part of this unforgettable win-win evening!

  • CLEARING THE AIR – The Crisis of Air Pollution and Lung Cancer

    CLEARING THE AIR – The Crisis of Air Pollution and Lung Cancer
    Jul 14 2026
    HOST: Hildy Grossman CO-HOST: Jordan Rich GUESTS: Joan H. Schiller, MD and Francine Jacobson, MD, MPH In 2021, the World Health Organization issued a stark warning: climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. And yet, the public often perceives climate change as an abstract concept or a political debate, not a health problem. It’s time to change this perception. Alarmingly, lung cancer deaths have surged by nearly 30% since 2007. Every year we experience accelerating heat waves, wildfires, droughts, and extreme weather events. Moreover, all these changes impact cancer occurrence and care. Our guests probe deeply into this serious problem, looking at causes and possible solutions. Dr. Schiller explains how her global group, OUCH (Oncologists United for Climate and Health) fights back using education and advocating for policy change to protect cancer patients and us all from the dangers of climate change. Meanwhile, Dr. Jacobson supports increasing access to life-saving lung cancer screenings for underserved, high-risk communities. She suggests steps to accomplish this by expanding criteria for screenings. Are we ready to treat climate change and air pollution like the medical emergency it is? Tune in to uncover the link between our environment and cancer - and how we can fight back.

  • Facing the Shock: Personal Stories of Youth, HER2, and Lung Cancer

    Facing the Shock: Personal Stories of Youth, HER2, and Lung Cancer
    Jun 1 2026

    HOST: Hildy Grossman CO-HOST: Jordan Rich

    GUESTS: Kyle Concannon, MD, Samantha Murrell, Bianca Bye and Leah Phillips

    The face of lung cancer is changing. No longer viewed simply as a “smoker’s disease” that only impacts older adults, there is a rising and concerning trend of younger adults and non-smokers being diagnosed with advanced disease.

    Our guests today have so much light to shine on this issue. In this powerhouse episode, we hear from Samantha Murrell, diagnosed with Stage 4 with a HER2 biomarker at age 37. She notes that her way of coping with her diagnosis was to learn everything possible about her disease. She tells how hope comes with new, cutting-edge drugs targeting HER2 because they allow her to live a full and active life.

    Our guest, Leah Phillips, a mother of three young children, also was shocked by her diagnosis of Stage 4 lung cancer at 43. She tells how she joined Bianca Bye, who faced the advanced diagnosis and tragic loss of both parents, within months of each other, to lung cancer. Leah and Bianca joined forces to create the Young Lung Cancer Initiative. Oncologist, Dr. Kyle Concannon notes how these three resilient women are finding meaning in advocacy as they work to transform suffering into meaning by helping others. This is an unforgettable, action-driven look at hope, survival, and taking control.
