  • The Shot: Cyclospora outbreak

    The Shot: Cyclospora outbreak
    Jul 11 2026

    Cyclosporiasis cases have surged past 3,000 across at least 31 states this summer, with Michigan alone reporting more than 1,500 cases since late June — roughly 25 times its typical annual total. In this episode of The Shot, Tara breaks down what's driving the surge, why cases are concentrated in southeast Michigan, and what's still unconfirmed about the source. She also covers the clinical picture clinicians need to recognize, the testing pitfall that causes cases to be missed and the current treatment protocol.

  • Ep 79 Bipolar Christy: When Genius and Mental Illness Collide — Bipolar Disorder, Creativity, and the Celebrities Who Changed the Conversation

    Ep 79 Bipolar Christy: When Genius and Mental Illness Collide — Bipolar Disorder, Creativity, and the Celebrities Who Changed the Conversation
    Jul 6 2026

    What do Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Carrie Fisher, Demi Lovato, and Brian Wilson all have in common? They’ve all lived — and created — with bipolar disorder. In this episode of Medical Media Mixer, Tara and Nicole pour the Bipolar Christy (a tart, jewel-toned vodka and pomegranate cocktail as mood-shifting as the condition itself) and dive deep into one of the most misunderstood mental health diagnoses of our time. They break down the clinical realities of bipolar I and II — mania, hypomania, depressive episodes, and everything in between — while exploring the complicated, often controversial relationship between bipolar disorder and creative genius. From Kanye’s documented four-month manic episode to Mariah Carey’s years of living in denial, to Carrie Fisher’s lifelong advocacy for mental health awareness, the stories of these artists humanize a condition that still carries enormous stigma. Tara and Nicole discuss what “mood episodes” actually look like clinically, how misdiagnosis remains a widespread problem, and what effective, evidence-based treatment looks like today — because recovery is possible, and productivity doesn’t require suffering.

  • Ep 78 Pride & Passion: Dallas Buyers Club, the HIV Crisis, and the Science That Changed Everything

    Ep 78 Pride & Passion: Dallas Buyers Club, the HIV Crisis, and the Science That Changed Everything
    Jun 29 2026
    In Episode 78, Tara and Nicole use the 2013 film Dallas Buyers Club as a lens to explore one of the most consequential medical crises in modern history: the HIV/AIDS pandemic. From the 1981 CDC reports of a mysterious illness decimating a community to the 2024 IAS-USA guidelines recommending single-pill daily ART, this episode traces the full arc — the science of HIV pathogenesis, the evolution of antiretroviral therapy, the lifesaving frameworks of PrEP, PEP, and U=U, and the patient activism that reshaped FDA drug approval forever.
