Damian and Anne welcome the inimitable Sakina Jaffrey to this week’s show. You Might Know Her From House of Cards, The Mindy Project, Chutney Popcorn, Timeless, Sex and the City, Raising Helen, American Gods, and Daylight. Sakina regales us with stories of her artist stock, with actor parents Madhur and Saeed Jaffrey and musician stepfather Sanford Allen, playing Mindy Kaling’s mother, working with Kevin Spacey, her iconic episode of SATC, and then blows our fucking minds with the lesbian trope we didn’t know existed. You know what we’re gonna say? It was a delight. Also, please leave us a GD review, kittens.

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.
