Hella Black, Hella Queer, Hella Christian
Hella Black, Hella Queer, Hella Christian a fully Black, fully Queer, fully Human, fully Divine podcast on society, culture, and other fresh fried nigga shit hosted by cultural thought leader Joseph Benjamin Reaves aka JosephTheyThem . This is a podcast were the faithful can come let their hair down and the church queen who pulls up to church in the same clothes they wore to the club the night before can be their whole selves. The roundtable discussions that this show will feature will run the gamut and will always aim to bring people into the room that may never sit at the same table otherwise. Joseph’s dream for this podcast is to see it catapulted into a nightly talk show bringing together the worlds of literature, music, television, film, stage, academia, and religion in the tradition of classic institutions such as The Dick Cavett Show.

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.
