For nearly two decades, Democrats in Alabama have struggled to win statewide - losing ground, resources, and voter trust. In this episode, I sit down with former Miss America and political trailblazer Mallory Hagan for an honest conversation about how the party collapsed, and what it will take to bring it back.

Mallory and I break down the internal dysfunction, the uphill battle, and fundraising failures that left Alabama without a competitive two-party system and why that matters for everyone, regardless of political affiliation. We talk about the importance of competitive primaries (even within the Republican Party), the urgent need to recruit strong candidates who can fundraise and build name recognition, and how Democrats can rebuild real infrastructure and community trust from the ground up.

This conversation isn’t about dwelling on the past, it’s about building the future.

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.
