In TV: (6:56) It has been well documented that the BBC has been poorly run for at least the past decade. Well, when you hear the word "Outsourcing" for a State-Run Media company, you know it's on life support. (Article By Michael Savage)
In Sports: (19:11) Whilst I'd love to gass about how Chelsea are World Champions and will be so for the next four years, FIFA been going extra dirty with the recent Club World Cup. (Article By Dave Zirin & Jules Boykoff)
In Film: (31:09) With Hollywood continuing down this depressing road of reboots & remakes, I wanted to revisit the topic and mull over what is next for the Film industry at large. (Spoiler Alert: Burn it down) (Article By Catherine Shoard)
Lastly, in Music: (54:00) Hip-Hop's global reach continues! And this episode's example comes from Bangladesh who are reshaping their domestic politics one bar (& meme) at a time. (Article By Masum Billah)

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.
