Dear Humans,

Is it possible to find political common ground with your brother-in-law who loves Joe Rogan? That’s what we’re discussing today with author and former Obama speechwriter David Litt!

David recently wrote a new book about finding common ground with the brother-in-law in question. It’s called It's Only Drowning: A True Story of Learning to Surf and the Search for Common Ground and is out now!

We Discuss:

  • The recently passed immigration bill and the implications of expanding ICE powers.

  • Will there even be elections in 2026?

  • Whether “being hopeful” is dangerously naive or necessary.

  • Authenticity, populism, and George Carlin’s legacy in the age of Trump.

  • Finding common ground, respecting differences, and surviving America’s “waves.”

  • Ice cream!

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.
