In Episode 2 of The Global Citizen podcast, we take a deep dive into the controversial world of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).ย We'll examine the situation in Nigeria, where the implementation of eNaira has led to nationwide protests, and take a closer look at the risks associated with CBDCs, including threats to personal freedom, privacy concerns, and the potential for increased central bank control. We'll also discuss the benefits and drawbacks of CBDCs, comparing them to cryptocurrencies, and consider the importance of fostering innovation and competition in the digital currency space to safeguard our financial systems and personal liberties.

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.
