Sean and September are wrapping up their season of whiskey with the progenitor of whiskey in the US, Moonshine! It had humble beginnings coming over with Irish and Scottish immigrants Moonshine was used like a currency in some parts and functioned as more than a way to get a bit tipsy. Like most things, as soon as it gets popular, then the government wants to tax it. That's what happened to Moonshine, and it's had a tenuous relationship with the law ever since (1781). Despite its dubious existence, it is has a strong and lasting tradition that is still carried on and is also responsible for the literal founding of Nascar. We hope you enjoy our close for the season of whiskey, make sure to chat with us on our Discord and tell us what to do for next season!
Cheers!

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.
