How far would you go to fight for democracy?

In July 2024, following 25 years of autocracy and dictatorship, Venezuela’s election was stolen by President Maduro. On this episode of The DipTel, we speak to Leopoldo López, leader of the Venezuelan opposition party, Popular Will, and General Secretary of the World Liberty Congress, a new organisation which brings together freedom fighters from around the world.

From exile in Spain, López explores what events in Venezuela mean for the fight between democracy and autocracy with Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Senior Advisor in geopolitics at Audley, Associate Fellow at RUSI, and former SAS officer.

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.
