Today’s brew is all about the living layers of language; how it’s shaped not just by our thoughts, but by our breath, our bodies, and the spaces we inhabit. We’re steeping in sensation, speech, and how our voices carry memory and meaning; a bright and nuanced cup, with a hint of citrus.

Today we’re steeping in questions of identity, breath, and belonging. Why do we sound the way we do? How does our voice carry our story? We’ll look at the science of vocal functions, how belonging shapes breath, and the stories of self we create through our own sound. This one’s warm, earthy, with a little spice—like a great chai with notes of cinnamon.

    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.
