Nathan Sykes is a Singer Song-writer best known as a member of the multi platinum selling boy band ‘The Wanted’, with global chart topping hits such as ‘Glad You Came’, ‘Chasing The Sun’ and ‘All time low’. He is also a successful solo artist reaching a billion streams with the first stage of his solo career. Taking a break after the tragic death of band member Tom Parker, Nathan has now returned to his music. Fresh from releasing his first solo track in eight years, ‘Getting Lost’, his new long awaited album ‘Ultraviolet’ is out this October!
In this episode Nathan opens up about his time in the band, dealing with grief, self discovery and finally starting to feel like he knows who he is and the artist he wants to be! He discusses his thoughts on believing his life is mapped out for him, and sometimes feeling he is on autopilot and just knows what decisions to make! His three Sliding Doors Moments include: choosing to go to Sylvia Young's rather than Grammar School, choosing to join The Wanted over solo record deals (even though he never wanted to be in a boyband!) and choosing to follow his gut leave his record label after they offered him a deal.

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.
