Late in the evening on September 3rd, 2022, 41-year-old Mark Bent was sitting in his truck, drinking a homemade concoction of hard liquor and an energy drink, contemplating a big decision.  Over the last year, Mark had found himself as the center of some drama in his new home state of Idaho.  What started as a rumor escalated into harassment, which in turn made Mark’s life a living hell.  It was only after Mark conveniently found himself outside the home of 23-year-old Nikolas Bird, the very man he held responsible for starting the rumors, that he decided to take matters into his own hands… Written by Trevor Pason, edited and engineered by Scott Ecklein, and executive produced by Michael Ojibway.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
