The author of 'Murder by the River' - Jerry Burden joined David and Clint in the studio to talk about a crime that became part of Chattanooga folklore and why he wanted to tell the story!
The bar scene in Chattanooga, Tn in the 1970s was really taking on a life of its own - thousands of young adults were celebrating life as one bar after the other popped up, however the world behind that bar scene was a pretty dangerous place to be. From firebombings to simple assaults and tax evasion to murder - the bright lights and the loud music covered up a seedy underground of crime, jealousy, and corruption. No story represents that more than the 1973 murder-for-hire killing of Roland Hargis outside of the Tiki Hut Bar! It took years for the police to put the puzzle together, but once they did it involved a few of their own, an ex-wife, 'friends', an assassin, false testimony, and...it opened the door for people to see what was really going on when the sun went down and bars opened up in Chattanooga. PLUS - it involved a famous house known for its swinging parties - the playboy mansion on the ridge!

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.
