Can you believe we've finally made it to the final wife of Henry VIII? It's finally time for Catherine Parr's story! In this episode, we get to know Catherine and learn about her upbringing and her role model mother, Maude. Fun fact: Catherine Parr was named after Catherine of Aragon. So Henry VIII's last wife is named after his first wife. Neat-o. Also in this episode, we learn about Catherine's life as a country lady and how she dealt with the infamous Pilgrimage of Grace. Then, of course, we end with Henry VIII entering the chat. Enjoy! For more from us in this time period, check out our Spotify playlist, Tudor Women.

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.
