Max Shanly calls in from the UK to give his thoughts on the formation of the new party challenging Labor and Reform. Shanly argues that it should be modeled on the American DSA, with an eye towards renewing the Republican tradition in the UK.
Support the show at http://patreon.com/theantifada for the fun half, in which we talk about the social conservative and petit bourgeois elements in the party, why Corbyn's actions have been misguided so far, Max's opinion on what's fundamentally wrong with the US political structure, and our suggestions on what the new party should be called.

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.
