All Episodes

March 4, 2020 • 55 mins

This episode we chat with Nicole Wackernagel and Rick Collingwood on the topic of Mesmer - and all the myths, fabrications and misunderstandings surrounding this 'father' of Modern hypnosis. Nicole's Hypnosis school is located in Frauenfeld ( where Mesmer did much of his work)- though she was only vaguely aware of Mesmer at first. Rick Collingwood (Australia) is one of the few recognized teachers of Mesmerism worldwide. And when we did an interview with him last year - he mentioned Frauenfeld as a place he visited because of the Mesmer connection - and also mentioned he would love to do a training there - but what’s the chances of that ever happening!! So what did we do - connected these two amazing people Nicole and Rick and they are going to hold the first training in Mesmerism in Frauenfeld - probably the first ever. May 2020. This is my chat with them as they prepare for the Workshop and what Mesmer did and did not do. And his true impact on the world of Hypnosis

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.
