We're back, with a new one for "After the Uprising" fans! After a summer off to release and promote season 2 of our NAACP Image Award nom'd iHeartPodcasts Black Lives Matter true crime, Ray talks with co-creator John Duffy about how the new season almost killed them. One of Ray's oldest friends, most frequent collaborators & Double Asterisk** partner, they laugh and banter while talking big topics, including the Ferguson 10th anniversary; five years spent investigating Black activist murders in St. Louis; the strange death of Danye Jones and their relationship with his mother Melissa McKinnies; maybe solving the murder of Darren Seals; working with new co-host (fmr Missouri state) Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal; the state of journalism and the podcast industry; Duffy's recent award-winning fiction book A Ballroom For Ghost Dancing; and his soon-to-be-released new book.

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.
