Did you know that a sound made underwater in the Indian Ocean can be heard off the coast of Oregon, some 17,000 miles away? Truly dive deep as my guest Michael Jasny from the National Resources Defense Council Marine Mammal Protection Project connects us to the world of ocean noise and how human actions can create sonic “smog” for the creatures who inhabit our seas. Feel hopeful as you learn what you can do day-to-day to engage more empathetically with our world. I’m confident you won’t think of the ocean in quite the same way ever again.

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.
