You might know Mark Holden from his appearances on Countdown as a 70's heart throb, playing Dr Greg Mason on "The Young Doctors", or the big "touchdown!" on Australian Idol, even the guy who co-wrote Vanessa Amorosi's huge hit "Absolutely Everybody"? His mum could have even been your student counsellor at High School (well, she was mine). Whichever Mark Holden you think you know, you will probably get a surprise or two as we take a walk through the Holden family history book, from the The Holden Brothers Travelling Circus, established by Mark's great, great-uncle, Adolphus Holden, the one legged acrobat, to today - you'll also find out where the carnation idea came from! A little birdie told me Mark has something fantastic in the works too, so I"ll keep you posted! Produced by AUDIOLemonade

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.
