What’s the best way to spend 25,000 Velocity Points? A $119 foot spa or flights to four AFL games across three cities in one weekend? In this episode of the Point Hacks Podcast, Toby and Josh put the theory to the test.
We cover: ✅ Comparing 25,000 Velocity Points spent on a foot spa vs. on domestic AFL flights ✅ Why flights almost always beat merchandise redemptions in cents-per-point value ✅ The pitfalls of Virgin’s dynamic pricing on reward seats ✅ Booking tips: when to lock in the lowest redemption rates and how Business Class differs ✅ How newcomers can build up a points balance without credit cards ✅ Final cents-per-point calculations and what this says about the true “floor vs. ceiling” value of Velocity Points

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.
