 "Welcome to 'Midnight Therapy,' where we journey into the heart and soul of humanity's deepest connections. I'm your host, Dr.Baba Ashnu. As Chris Rock said, relationships are 'easy to get into, but hard to maintain.' Throughout history, from primal family ties and community bonds to spiritual allegiances and modern professional networks – and yes, even the intricate dance of romance – our lives are a tapestry of interwoven relationships.

Our ancestors banded together on Africa's ancient savannahs for safety and laid the foundation for a lineage of connectivity. Fast forward to today's digital age of tweeting, swiping, and... shall we touch upon those sugar daddy arrangements? Ah, the fascinating intersections of relationships and economics! Today, we dive deep. 

We'll explore how identity, group dynamics, and the tangible and intangible exchanges in relationships, including those economic 'arrangements,' shape our societies and our very souls."

Midnight Therapy is a bi-weekly conversation focused on mental health, relationships, personal growth, and communication issues affecting people of color in America today.

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.
