Also, in the first hour, we’re joined by Texas A&M University research scientist Dr. Michael Tice, who breaks down recent findings that suggest potential signs of past life on Mars.
Then, in the second hour, we talk with Lexi Churchill, a research reporter with the ProPublica-Texas Tribune investigative unit, who discusses her story, which found that several of the highest-paid charter school superintendents in Texas are leading districts that rank among the state’s worst-performing.

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.
