The Waters And The Wild
Join me, Gwen Wilkinson, as I embark on a series of fabulous adventures exploring Ireland’s waterways. Paddling my trusty canoe Minnow I’ll venture out on lakes, navigate sheltered bays and follow the winding course of rivers and canals. Our waterways are corridors of immense wildlife diversity, brimming with life above and below the surface. The low profile and silent passage of the canoe will allow for close encounters with a cast of fascinating creatures such as otter, pike and dragonflies. We’ll keep a sharp eye out for egret, moorhen and grebe, and with a little bit of luck catch sight of a kingfisher darting across our bow. The essence of slow adventure, this paddle-powered podcast will transport you to enchanted realms and watery worlds of wonder.

A mid-summers voyage along the Grand Canal with my canoe 'Minnow'. Musings on dragon and damselflies, horse-drawn barges, camping and tow-path flora. Along the way I make a D-tour to Lodge Bog where I explore the wonderful world of sphagnum moss and the critical role peatlands play as a natural solution to climate change.

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.
