We’re on a break! Doing the podcast remains a pleasure, and we fully intend to make more episodes in the near future. However, this project requires coordinating 3 schedules on 2 coasts, and a fairly intensive prep/time commitment to make happen. It can get hectic. We feel this is a good time for us to take a few months off, maybe watch some episodes without a notepad and pencil, and return to the fun soon. We also have Thad developing content for the feed during our Hoodoo Hiatus, which we hope will pass our rigorous inspection process by early May. We appreciate everyone’s support and well-wishes, and look forward to returning later this year!

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.
