Family Talks Podcast

Getting the conversations going for healthy relationships.Family Talks arose out of our family’s experience of starting a monthly conversation time with our kids when they were still quite young. We wanted to create a time where we could sit down together as a family in an atmosphere of openness. For us, that consisted in lighting a candle, turning the lights down low, tv off, phones put away, and we were left to just...talk. We were amazed at what came out, and this practice shaped our lives together and opened up a place where things got dealt with, instead of being swept under the rug. In Family Talks, we will share candidly about our lives from the experience of raising three daughters, working on our marriage of almost 30 years, and also in our work of counseling and coaching people, helping them navigate through the seasons of their lives. Welcome to Family Talks with Marney & Curtis!

    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.
