Episode 41 of the famous Chasmosaurs Podcast is here, and it's a bittersweet one. Today's episode is a tribute to the recently departed Czech palaeoartist Jan Sovák (1953 - 2025) and his frankly ginormous body of work. So ginormous in fact, that we just had to dedicate an entire episode to him. But there's more to talk about. For one thing, there's the new Walking With Dinosaurs series, which we refuse to review in this episode! Also, there's a whole bunch of other palaeomedia coming, as well! Why don't the English know about Jan Sovák? Did the keen olfactory sense of tyrannosaurs evolve to smell the flowers? Will Natee ever live down that time when they started comparing people to Thomas Kinkade? And who will bring the popcorn? Join us as we give you our monthly roundup, and as we dive deep into the life and works of one of Europe's finest dinosaur artists.

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.
