Welcome to this special extended podcast in honour of International Women's Day, in which we are joined by three special guests to address a crucial issue: women's healthcare rights, and how we can go about closing the gender health gap. Helping us to unpack what the gender health gap is, how it impacts women and what is being done to close the gap, we are joined by the following inspiring women:
Dr Sarah White, CEO of Jean Hailes for Women's Health, Australia's leading non-governmental organisation providing women's health information and education to the general public and health professionals; and member of the National Women's Health Advisory Council, which provides the Australian Government with advice and recommendations to improve health outcomes for women in Australia
Shelly Horton, TV journalist, keynote speaker and media personality, renowned perimenopause and menopause warrior, and co-creator of online courses about confidence, health advocacy and peri and menopause in the workplace.
Dr Romy Listo, Deputy Chair of the Australian Women's Health Alliance, and a 2024 Churchill Fellowship recipient investigating models to support and destigmatise reproductive health in the workplace.

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.
