In this episode Corey interviews writer and producer Daniel Abella about his powerful new play, 'The Diary of Yoko Moriwaki.' The play is inspired by the real-life diary of a 13-year-old girl who became a victim of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. Daniel shares his journey of discovering Yoko's diary, the challenges of adapting her story for the stage, and the importance of remembering the voices of young people affected by war. The conversation examines themes of healing through art, cultural representation, and the universal lessons that Yoko's story imparts in today's world.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
