📘 “What do you do when you’re polling at 2% and your opponent has a presidential endorsement?”
If you're Katie Britt, you pray, you fight, and you win.

In this inspiring and deeply personal episode of Kent Hance, The Best Storyteller in Texas, Kent welcomes U.S. Senator Katie Britt of Alabama, the youngest Republican in the Senate and a rising star in American politics. From her roots in Enterprise, Alabama, to her time as SGA President at the University of Alabama, to becoming Chief of Staff for Senator Richard Shelby, Katie shares the values, grit, and faith that shaped her journey.

Listeners will hear:

  • How her mom earned the nickname “Stone Cold” and sent Katie to college alone to build resilience.
  • The unforgettable advice from her grandfather: “Your character, integrity, work ethic, and how you treat people—those are the things that determine your path.”
  • Her early struggles at Alabama and the moment she decided to run for student body president after being told she’d never win “because she’s a girl.”
  • Her whirlwind campaign for U.S. Senate, starting at 2% in the polls and ending in victory.
  • Her passionate stance on border security, fentanyl, and non-citizen voting—with firsthand stories from her visits to the border.
  • Her reflections on balancing motherhood with public service, and why she won’t trade eight minutes in the car with her kids for a flight.

“Every generation is called to do hard things. I believe in who we are to our core as Americans.” — Senator Katie Britt

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
