Raised by VHS
Welcome to Raised by VHS – the podcast that rewinds to the glory days of late fees, staff picks, and the movies that molded us. From dusty action flicks to cult comedies and everything in between, we revisit the VHS tapes that raised us—one rental at a time. Hosted by Coby and Cam, two lifelong friends raised on a steady diet of 80s and 90s movies, this podcast dives into one film per episode with a mix of nostalgia, trivia, behind-the-scenes chaos, and ridiculous side segments. We’re not critics—we’re just two dudes who never returned the tape.

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.
