UPDATE: This show is sold out! But you can still RSVP for the livestream at our link in bio.

NYC, we have another LIVE SHOW for ya! It’s on Thursday, Nov 5, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. and you can get tickets at the link in our bio.

More info:
For years, we have been trying to replace parts of ourselves, from our beating hearts and other organs to the skin on our bodies to the hair on our heads. Nearly every part. 

In the latest Viscera, ER Doctor Avir Mitra and Senior Correspondent Molly Webster take us into the rapidly evolving world of transplants. Then we’ll kick it with New York Times bestselling science writer Mary Roach, who spent the last couple of years traveling all over, from Sichuan Province in China to Tbilisi, Georgia, to Massachusetts General Hospital, to understand just how far we’ve come, and how far we’ll go, to replace our parts. Avir talks with his dear friend, Alin Gragossian, about one of the scariest days of both of their lives. And we ask: After all our years of trying, how close are we to convincing our bodies to accept what isn’t us?

📍 The Greene Space at WNYC in Manhattan.

RE:Buried Bodies, interviewed parent of victim but didn’t ask the most important question…if lawyers had been successful in their ploy to release privileged info, would the family have preferred that relief vs applying the maximum punishment for the murderer.
