#TheOtherStories
presents...
KEZ'S CHRISTMAS ADVENT CALENDAR!
We gathered 12 writers from the H&C community and let them dip their hands into our Secret Santa bucket. From the bucket each writer pulled out a word, and from that word, they were asked to write and narrate a very, very short story.
Today’s word was… toy.
And the story is Prezzie.
Written and narrated by Luke Kondor (https://www.lukekondor.com)
Edited by Karl Hughes (https://twitter.com/karlhughes)
With evil Christmas music by Duncan Muggleton (https://temporalrecordings.wordpress.com)
Along with a seasonal spin on the original The Other Stories theme by Thom Robson (https://www.thomrobsonmusic.com/).
Luke Kondor makes stuff, including Keith – a short film made in 7 days with no ideas, no money, and no camera, which went on to win the best low-budget short film at the London Short Film Festival; The Other Stories – a weekly short story podcast with over five million downloads and a Film/TV option; and El Marvo – a crowdfunded comic book about a Luchador wrestler in a post-apocalyptic future.

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.
