In this episode of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux takes a no-holds-barred approach to major headlines and cultural tensions sweeping across Australia. From Qantas’ PR trainwreck and leadership changes to the latest on immigration controversies, Jeremy draws a straight line between media spin and what Australians are really thinking. He reflects on the legacy of John Howard, the public’s growing distrust of institutions, and the increasing disconnect between average Aussies and political elites.

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.
