I would like to thank Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood mogul. Harvey
Weinstein just got hit with new sexual harassment allegations. And
to those who would dare try and silence us, we
offer you two words. Times up. It happened to me too,
Me too. That happened to me too. This is my story.
(00:30):
On The Thread, we unraveled the stories behind some of
the most important lives and events in history to discover,
essentially how one thing leads to another. This season, we
moved through nearly a century of history leading up to
the Me Too movement. We begin with Gloria Steinham, a
leading feminist and activist and an early silence breaker. This
(00:50):
is no simple reform, It really is a revolution. Steinham
helped transform the modern women's movement, but the events that
lead to Steinhem's rise and that revolution where decades in
the making. I'm Sean Braswell, and in season two of
The Thread, we will bear witness to a remarkable chapter
in American history, one that runs from the casting couches
(01:13):
of early Hollywood to the present day. It is a
tale of power, glamor, and coercion. It is also a

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.
