Are you ready to get down to the knitty gritty? Join our hosts Melissa Gilbert and Susie Shubert as they discuss the challenges of aging gratefully.

Melissa and Susie want to create an open space for women in their "third phase of life", because sometimes society pigeonholes us into either being the "cute little old ladies" or "mean Mrs. Gulch." Women are just so much more than that and it is time to talk about it!

Listen to this episode to hear: 

  • How they are creating a community where they can share stories and experiences with one another, as well as talk about how embracing change and curiosity is vital for staying youthful and vibrant
  • What topics are in store for this podcast such as menopause, grandchildren (which Melissa has eight!), and all that comes with aging, especially the good, the bad, and the ugly 
  •  About the fun new segments like Two Truths and a Lie, Prairie Style
  • And even all about the future guests that might be on the show!

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.
