DogPod

Together they amble through the joys and tragedies of owning a dog. From training a puppy to the death of an old pet. Along the way there are all those other humans to meet - some whose names you never know but can easily call their Spaniel. Why do some owners insist on using a special language and taking their dogs wherever they go? Is the animal there for emotional support and do onlookers worry for the humans involved? And which celebrity dog ate a condom and then sported it in the park from the other end? It's all on the hit new podcast DogPod.

    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.
