Scott and Jenn dive into a whirlwind of adventure as they chat about Jenn's trip to Alaska, where she got to explore some seriously cool historical spots. First up, she visited the Captain James Cook Statue in Anchorage, learning about the man who helped map Alaska and how the city got its name—spoiler alert, it has his name written all over it! Then, she took a moment to pay her respects at the grave of Kermit Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt's son, which has its own intriguing backstory. With tales of glaciers, moose sightings, and the stunning Alaskan wilderness, Jenn paints a vivid picture of her travels while Scott throws in his usual witty banter. So grab a cozy drink and join us for a history-filled chat that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening!

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.
