Support The Bookcast Club
You can support the podcast on Patreon. We have a variety of tiers starting at just $2 a month, offering early access to the podcast, bonus episodes and book recommendations tailored to you. Our aim, when we hit $75 a month, is to set up a fund to allow those with less money to buy books. If you are happy to donate for no reward you can do so on our website. A free way to show your support, and a very effective way of spreading the word, is to mention us on social media or review us on iTunes.
Visit our Book Shop
You can buy all the books we mention on the podcast in our Book Shop. Bookshop.org is a great platform if you want easy book shopping without supporting the likes of Amazon. They support independent book shops and we earn a small commission on each sale, which helps with the running costs of this podcast. However, we would always encourage you to make the effort and shop with your local independent book shop. Many have gone to great efforts to develop an online presence and we're sure most, if not all, will take orders over the phone. You can find a list of independent bookshops to support on our website, many of which do home delivery.

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.
