Here’s what our house elf, Artie, says about this episode. 

This episode discusses the Rush song “Nobody’s Hero.” We provide a detailed analysis of various song elements, including its sequencing on the album, its musical complexity, and the quality of Geddy’s vocals. We debate the placement and effect of other songs, discuss their impact on the overall album, and recommend sequencing changes. Further, we delve into the specific musical elements and instruments used, such as the synths, perhaps a French horn, and strings. A notable highlight is the discussion on the role and sound of the French horn and its use in other songs by different artists. The hosts also mention their personal preferences for Rush songs.

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.
