'20 Days in Mariupol' captured the invasion of Ukraine and won this year's Oscar and Peabody Award. Ray didn't even know that Christine Giordano, his friend and former commercials collaborator from Ruth's and Ray's days in Austin TX, had landed at the storied PBS Frontline as an assistant editor until he got a message from a friend day after that Oscars that Christine was part of the 'Mariupol' team! Here they catch up for the first time in a few years and Ruth and Ray get the whole story -- inside Frontline, how the footage got smuggled out of Ukraine and made it to Christine's team, what it was like to do post production on such a heavy topic and what it was like to go through the whole Oscars process this year.

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.
