This week, we dive into the disturbing assault of a Black superintendent by a White parent at a small Wisconsin graduation ceremony. How prevalent is this kind of racism still? Then, the controversy around Caitlin Clark being (somewhat) surprisingly left off the USA women's basketball roster for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris despite her stellar college career. Was this an egregious snub or fair decision? Finally, Shaun gives his quick (and very late) take on the Academy Award nominated racial satire American Fiction - was it biting social commentary or did it miss the mark? Might include a spoiler alert (or two). All that and more on this week's packed episode. Tap-in!
Leave us a review and let us know what you think!

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.
