We know it's illegal and inhumane to keep wild animals as pets or for exploitation; but what happens to the animals in cases where law enforcement confiscates them? Animal Asia provides a sanctuary that serves not merely as a shelter but a place where an Asiatic black bear, rescued from the bear bile farms, finds their confidence in living a normal life with other bears, again; while acting as the ambassador for their species. Tune in to listen to how Sarah van Herpt, Veterinary and Behavioural Husbandry Services Director - Animals Asia, empowers the animals and the local community at Animals Asia's Viet Nam Bear Sanctuary, Tam Dao.

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.
