The Deeper Thinking Podcast
The Deeper Thinking Podcast The Deeper Thinking Podcast offers a space where philosophy becomes a way of engaging more fully and deliberately with the world. Each episode explores enduring and emerging ideas that deepen how we live, think, and act. We follow the spirit of those who see the pursuit of wisdom as a lifelong project of becoming more human, more awake, and more responsible. We ask how attention, meaning, and agency might be reclaimed in an age that often scatters them. Drawing on insights stretching across centuries, we explore how time, purpose, and thoughtfulness can quietly transform daily existence. The Deeper Thinking Podcast examines psychology, technology, and philosophy as unseen forces shaping how we think, feel, and choose, often beyond our awareness. It creates a space where big questions are lived with—where ideas are not commodities, but companions on the path. Each episode invites you into a slower, deeper way of being. Join us as we move beyond the noise, beyond the surface, and into the depth, into the quiet, and into the possibilities awakened by deeper thinking.

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.
