Screaming Panda Presents “Reality” (Episode 26), the sixteenth chapter of Hell Gate City Season 2. Kevin Berrey wrote, performed, and directed it and created its original music and episode art. This chapter’s bonus tale is “Androgynous Friend” (Glitch in the Waitrix 26), available only here in the Inner Legion. Also, there's a second one! Glitch 26 B – Hypocognition. Visit: https://www.patreon.com/collection/80693 The transcript is forthcoming and will be linked to in this description hopefully but as a backup check the free transcripts post on our Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/posts/transcripts-of-66692496. It sucks, but the odd way I'm writing these episodes means cobbling together handwritten texts, typed notes, and final edits and revisions that don't exist in a singular document and lining all of that up is for some reason hellishly fatiguing in my current state of unmedicated narcolepsy. Hang in there while I chip away at it and in the meantime see the auto-transcription of the public episode on Spotify and Apple if I'm taking too long.

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.
