What happens when a sitting president tests the limits of the Constitution? And what power does the average citizen really have when things feel out of control?

In this episode, Brandi Fleck speaks with historian and educator Grady Eades—Associate Professor of History at Volunteer State Community College and author of For the Good of the Program. They explore the foundations of American democracy, the three branches of government, and the loopholes that could allow a president to serve a third term. Spoiler: it’s legally murky, but not impossible.

You’ll also hear why the Founding Fathers never anticipated political parties, how executive orders can contradict constitutional law, and what might trigger a full-blown constitutional crisis.

This isn’t just a history class—it’s a wake-up call.

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.
