It’s Christmas Eve! Bob bless us everyone. We will let you pick into your stockings early and give you a holiday themed 6-Pack featuring hour long stop-motion TV specials by those seasonal legends Arthur Rankin & Jules Bass. Or just Rankin/Bass if you wanna get nasty under the mistletoe. These are the specials, a few based on some old hit Christmas songs, that generations came to know and love and added a mythology to the holiday season that still seems to resonate in pop culture. You know who we’re talkin’ about. Rudolph, Santa, Heimey, Topper, Aeon, Heat Miser, Mrs. Claus and the Great Ack. Everyone loves the Great Ack. These specials span over two decades. We found links to all the specials we discussed so we will pop a convenient link list for you below if you want to revisit any of them. Merry Christmas. We will return tomorrow for a Christmas episode you will be too busy to listen to.

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.
