Robert Scott is a New Zealand broadcasting legend with a 40-year career on New Zealand radio, best known for his recent 19-year stint on The Breeze.
He also happens to be one of my oldest friends. We first met and became mates in Palmerston North around 35 or 36 years ago.
This podcast is a celebration of my mate’s life and career. And it’s also a celebration of the best sorts of friendships- the very long-term ones.
In this conversation we talk about:
+ Robert’s recent prostate cancer diagnosis and the importance of early detection
+ The highs and lows of a 40-year radio career (and why he walked away)
+ Growing up in the UK and moving to New Zealand as a child
+ Bullying, resilience, and lessons that shaped him
+ Friendship, loyalty, and what really matters as you get older. And so much more.

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.
