BEST MOMENTS
"That is not what travel is about for me, it's about the experiences, the people, the sights, the sounds, the tastes."
"That intergenerational trip, that is kind of marvellous, isn't it? Because, you know, you think when your adult kids are adults, the last thing they want to do is spend time with you."
"We met so many solo, female travellers, and I think it's not something that anyone should be fearful of, because you'd be surprised you meet a lot of people that are doing the same."

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.
