Welcome to what might just be the final episode of Wrenches, Gadgets & Hacks -and no, not because we’re tired of talking tech. It’s because AI has officially taken over.
That’s right, folks. As the title suggests, AI is just too good now. We, the humble human hosts, are no longer needed to flip the switches, ramble into microphones, or even pretend to know what we’re talking about. AI can do it all - research, scriptwriting, and yes, even turning dry documentation into binge-worthy podcast content.
So, John and Carl thought, why not go out with a bang? This entire episode has been created by AI. Who knew it could be this good?
Enjoy the show… or should I say, enjoy your new AI overlords. 🤖

Still here? Noticed today’s date - April 1st, 2025? Yeah, you got us. April Fools! 🤣
We’re not hanging up our podcast mics just yet. But we are talking about NotebookLM - an AI-powered research and learning tool that’s honestly pretty incredible. And yes, it can turn what you're learning into a podcast as a way to absorb content. In fact, a big chunk of this episode was generated using NotebookLM, based on just four blog posts. And it nailed it.
Now, for real—enjoy the show! (Starts around the 17:30 mark)

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.
