About this listen

Samantha Dugan and Abe Lally are best friends. They steal kidneys. They have their reasons.

Samantha is a professional seductress and con artist with a heart of gold. If she talked about her work, she’d tell you she only pilfers organs for medical research and that she only takes one kidney, and she only steals those kidneys from dishonest people. It’s hell on her social life.

Abe is the doctor and Sam's partner in crime. He isn’t much of a criminal. Except for the kidney stealing. But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

Cut and Run was performed by Meg Ryan, D’Arcy Carden, Sam Richardson, Rachel Bloom, Thomas Lennon, Ed Begley Jr, Eugene Cordero, Baron Vaughn, Carlos Alazraqui, Arturo del Puerto, Dustin Ybarra, Aaron Abrams, Ginger Gonzaga, Greg Santos, Oscar Montoya, Roberta Valderrama, and Shulie Cowen.

“Dynamite Lady”, an original song, was written and performed by Aimee Mann and Ted Leo.

Cut and Fun

The jokes come quick, the actors are great, and overall it's a quirky, sweet adventure in the organ harvesting trade.

Good to fill in time

Good story, I struggled a little with the format but it does work. Entertaining, but wouldn’t bother listening again.

Terrible. Too busy.

Too many revolving characters. Story too fast, too noisy. Chaos all around. Definitely not calming, soothing or enjoyable.
