Welcome to another episode of our Milwaukee Legends Series, presented by the one and only iconic Harley-Davidson, a committed partner not only to this podcast, but to our local and global communities.
The Milwaukee Legend Series has been presented in partnership with Harley-Davidson’s 2024 Homecoming Celebration.
This episode features Milwaukee legend Fred "Freedo" Berry, a former Milwaukee Admirals hockey player from Edmonton who came to Milwaukee in the 1980s and never left, eventually opening the Hockey Haven, a beloved hockey superstore.
After playing junior hockey from age 15 and spending time in various minor leagues, Berry found his home in Milwaukee where he played for seven years, drawn to the city's down-to-earth people and strong sports community - and he continues to serve the hockey community today through his store which has become something of a local gathering spot, like "the old town barbershop.”

Thanks for listening.
Love you, Milwaukee.

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.
