Remember when we first told you about noticewave on episode 250. Well, noticewave blew up in 2024 with one song in particular being the most remixed and played underground song throughout Europe and the US. The "L'Amour Toujours" German Far-Right Controversy, also known as Ausländer Raus, refers to the ongoing use of the Italian dance song "L'Amour Toujours" by Gigi D'Agostino by Germans on the political right who replaced the song's lyrics with "Ausländer raus," meaning "Foreigners out." The song's usage by right-wing groups in Germany started in late 2023 when a video surfaced of men singing "Ausländer raus" in a discotek in Dortmund. In May 2024, a viral video of men and women singing "Ausländer raus" at an outdoor bar in Sylt sparked discourse and backlash. The video included people seemingly emulating Adolf Hitler by putting two fingers on their upper lip (to resemble Hitler's mustache) and Nazi saluting with their right hands.

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.
