In this episode, we delve into a broad range of current events and pressing issues. We start by discussing the devastating wildfires in LA, the personal stories of those affected, and the ongoing media scrutiny faced by politicians like Karen Bass.

The conversation shifts to the controversial explosion of a Tesla truck in front of a Trump hotel, examining the possible motivations behind the act. Furthermore, we explore broader societal issues such as rising white supremacist activity, the decline in intellectual engagement in America, and how misinformation is shaping public perception. We also touch on the civil exchanges between political adversaries, exemplified by Barack Obama's interaction with Trump, the future of news media, and the looming threat of societal revolt.

Join us as we unravel these complex issues and share our perspectives.

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.
