In this episode, Chace interviews Nathan Proctor, the senior director of the right to repair campaign for PIRG. They discuss the critical importance of the right to repair, especially in the context of military biomedical technicians who face significant challenges due to proprietary restrictions from manufacturers. Nathan shares stories highlighting the dire consequences of these restrictions on military operations and the healthcare system. The conversation emphasizes the need for fair access to repair materials, the implications of ownership and intellectual property rights, and the vital role of Biomeds in ensuring the functionality of medical equipment. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to support the right to repair movement.

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.
