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 elves of the North Pole in a cosy home filled with the smells of chestnuts roasting on an open fire. His time in the winter wonderland has filled him with a mirth worth sharing with the world not only on Christmas day but in the middle of the New Zealand winter. He does so through the art of Jingle Bell Ballads such as The Christmas Elf Who Pissed Himself. And you can see this PIssmas spectacular live this week from the Basement Theatre. A Very Jed Parsons Xmas. This week in the Locals Only Lounge, it's Jed Parsons!!

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.
