Adah Bill Holt
Adah sat at her desk, staring at a textbook on Portland’s history. Her brow was furrowed, not with frustration, but with the sheer volume of it all. The pages were a dense jumble of dates and names, a tangled knot of information she needed to internalize for her history class. How could anyone make it all stick? She sighed, closing the book and pulling out her phone.
Adah opened her eyes, back in the real Old Port. The city no longer felt like a collection of dusty facts. It was a living, breathing story, a palace built in her mind, with rooms and hallways filled with people, actions, and objects. She smiled at Grandpa Bill, a deep sense of gratitude and connection passing between them. The history was hers now, a part of her and her home.

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.
