Welcome to Locals Only, the New Zealand music podcast where we talk Aotearoa’s finest musicians about the soundtracks of their lives. Joining me today is an artist who was raised by the white hot mud pools of Rotorua in a house filled by the sounds of Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac and more notably her music teaching father. She found early success in songwriting and set out on a journey of self discovery and moved to New York. But her time in the busy streets of the city that never sleeps left her without an answer to the burning question in her mind: who am I? So, she returned to Aotearoa and turned her artistry to the page, drawing stacks of self portraits. It was in these charcoal drawings that she saw an unraveling moving portrait that spoke not of who she is but instead how she feels. The feelings of which can be heard on her debut album self portrait of a woman unraveling. This week on Locals Only, Alayna!!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
