Could a boxing match between legends and influencers be more than just entertainment? Our latest installment of "Slap the Power" is your backstage pass to the much-hyped showdown between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. We couldn't help but question the match’s authenticity, especially when compared to the eyebrow-raising outcome of the recent Serrano fight. Tune in as we ponder whether these events hold a mirror up to the issue of fairness in the ring, and set the stage for broader societal conversations.
Switching gears, we spotlight the harsh reality that 80% of climate change refugees are women, bringing to light the staggering inequities intensified by natural disasters. Join us as we travel to regions like Central East Africa, Bangladesh, and India, where these challenges are most acute, forcing young girls out of education and into vulnerable situations. We also touch on global political tensions, focusing on Hong Kong’s battle for democracy amidst Beijing’s tightening grip. Through these narratives, we aim to spark awareness and galvanize support for women and girls facing these adversities.

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.
