In this special show, Nicole Brown is joined by Jesse Campbell and Jo Williams to share the story behind the Georgie Campbell Foundation, created in memory of the much-loved rider who passed away in 2024.
The foundation focuses on two core goals: improving safety in the sport of eventing and providing meaningful support to young riders as they build their careers, the kind of opportunities that a young Georgie herself would have found invaluable. From funding frangible devices and supporting safety research to mentoring riders with bespoke competition and business plans, the foundation is determined to turn loss into a lasting legacy.
Jesse and Jo explain how the idea came to life, the initiatives already underway, the fundraising efforts, and how the eventing community has rallied behind the cause. They also share details of the first beneficiary programme, open to applications this year, to support the next generation of event riders.
Highlights:
- The vision for the Georgie Campbell Foundation: safety and rider support
- How Georgie’s values and character are shaping the programme
- Frangible devices, safety research and rider education
- Fundraising initiatives, from Hiho Silver’s Twig jewellery, to events at Burghley
- The first beneficiary programme and how to apply
- The role of the eventing community in carrying Georgie’s legacy forward
Guests:

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.
