In tonight’s mythic journey, we step into the cosmic shadows with Nyx: the Greek Goddess who is the night itself. Before Olympus rose, before Zeus claimed the sky, Nyx reigned in the darkness...formless, powerful, and eternal. From her alone came gods of sleep, death, fate, and dreams. Even Zeus, the thunder-wielding king, dared not cross her. Join me, Yarrow, as I let my wilder side, YLDragons take wing and take the lead as we explore:
▪️ Nyx’s ancient origins from Chaos
▪️ Her role as a mother to some of mythology’s most haunting and essential deities
▪️ Why her power was both feared and revered
▪️ What Nyx symbolizes for us today—rest, mystery, and deep creative renewal
✨ Whether you’re a mythology lover, a seeker of meaning, or just drawn to the quiet power of the night, this episode will stir your imagination and your soul.
🌓 Next Up on Dusk and Dreams: "What Do Your Dreams Say About You?" We'll explore how neuroscience, memory, and emotion come together in our sleeping minds. I've received several dream stories that of listeners and mentees that I'll be sharing as real examples as well.
Then, on Friday: We return to the mythic with the Oneiroi—the black-winged spirits of dreams who slip between worlds to deliver visions to gods and mortals alike.

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.
