This week on Politically Basic, Kendall Bailey, aka @kendall_in_kentucky on Instagram, joins the show to talk about what happens when conviction meets controversy. From a deaf diagnosis to a cancer battle and pregnancy, Kendall faced it all under a national spotlight. Her refusal to wear a mask during COVID went viral, sparking outrage and support in equal measure. But Kendall didn’t flinch. She stood her ground in a culture that demands compliance, choosing faith, freedom, and truth over fear. This episode isn’t just about surviving, it’s about pushing back when politics, media, and public pressure try to silence you.

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.
