Josh Bloom

Hi. It's Josh. I published my first newsletter before the age of ten, written using my next-door neighbor’s typewriter, copied with carbon paper, and distributed to mailboxes on my bicycle. One of my first stories was an obituary of John Belushi. Strange for a ten year old? Yes! My show is governed by deadpan sarcasm that goes granular on topics of culture that I'm deeply curious about. I hope you enjoy this sometimes snarky stream of consciousness. I'm serious about not taking life too seriously.™ superjews.substack.com

We start on Day 236 with a comment about the video from last week on Day 235. This commenter asks me why I am not a millionaire and I actually explain a little bit of my financial history prior to self-imposed poverty. I look back on the financial crash of 2008,...

This week on the show, the leader of the Trump administration gives a speech where he states that he hates Democrats. Like, really. He says, “I hate them.” Nice, right? So if you were wondering if you should call your senator, don’t bother. People who hate are not people who can be nego...

    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.
