Clocking in With The Pitt’s Patrick Ball
Tuesday, August 11, 2026
As a doctor’s daughter born and raised in Pittsburgh, I’m thrilled today to present yinz (look it up!) with a long Q&A I did with Patrick Ball—a.k.a. The Pitt’s Dr. Langdon, the recovering addict with the best head of hair at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. Ball and I connected recently to talk about his show’s startling Emmy-nomination haul (25, more than any other series this year), as well as getting to work on its third season and his opinions about The Pitt’s, ahem, extremely devoted fandom. My favorite part of our chat was his response to the diehards hoping his character hooks up with Taylor Dearden’s Mel: “That has nothing to do with me,” he said, laughing, “but I’m glad everybody’s having a lot of fun.”
Elsewhere, Dan Adler reports on the latest from the Luigi Mangione state trial. More tomorrow!

It was, in 1947, that rarest of unions: a royal love match. But though the dashing Prince Philip of Greece and the 21-year-old heir to Britain’s throne were clearly besotted as they began a life and family together, trouble lay ahead as “Lilibet” became “Her Majesty” and the new Duke of Edinburgh chafed at his consort role.

Behind the Mic of Your Favorite Nerd’s Favorite Podcast
Monday, August 10, 2026
I was a huge Game of Thrones fan—as was the style at the time—but have fallen off on watching HBO’s various spin-off series. (When everyday life resembles the Red Wedding, who needs to spend more time in Westeros?) Now, though, I’m wondering if it’s worth catching up on House of the Dragon, which aired its third-season finale last night, just so I can follow the conversation on The Midnight Boys, a raucous nerdcore podcast that’s become appointment listening for hordes of fans. Today, Daniel Strauss explains the show’s unique appeal while sitting down with its quartet of hosts, none of whom have married their own uncle or called for their dead father’s best friend’s decapitation…yet.
Elsewhere, Elise Taylor sits down with George McNally, of the Balthazar McNallys, and I am back on my bullshit (a.k.a. complaining, this time about the indignity of waiting in line). More tomorrow!
