Welcome, fellow explorers. My name is Christian Alexandersen and this is Hemlocks to Hellbenders. A podcast highlighting Pennsylvania parks, forests and great outdoors.

I’m excited you’ve decided to join me on an exploration of all things natural and wonderful about Pennsylvania’s public lands. That doesn’t just include our parks and forests. We’re going to be learning about our incredible landscapes, plants, trees, animals, waterways and so much more.

I’m going to be speaking with experts in their fields to find out more about the Commonwealth’s magnificent natural resources. You’ll be hearing from park rangers, educators, conservationists, biologists and volunteers.

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.
