Not The Top 20 Podcast

Not The Top 20 Podcast

The #1 podcast about the Football League (EFL) from George Elek and Ali Maxwell. Twice nominated for the FSF Awards 'Best Podcast', since 2016 Not The Top 20 Podcast has been dedicated to providing insightful, passionate, detailed coverage of the Championship, League One and League Two, with the Monday Podcast recapping the weekend, and the Betting Show providing carefully considered picks ahead of the weekend. NTT20 Pod's success has led to over 100 TV appearances for George and Ali, on Sky Sports and EFL on Quest, plus radio appearances on BBC Radio 5 Live. A community of EFL lovers has been established through NTT20 Squad, and the launch of NTT20.COM in 2023 provided written EFL coverage to match the podcast.

    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.

    Stuff You Should Know

    If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
