 Welcome to "Memory Chronicles Podcast," where we delve deep into the shadows of history, uncovering tales that are as thrilling as they are enigmatic. In this week's electrifying episode, we explore the life and legend of New Orleans' most mysterious and powerful figure: the notorious voodoo queen, Marie Laveau.

Join us as we unravel the rich tapestry of Marie’s life, from her beginnings as a free woman of color in the vibrant, yet tumultuous streets of 19th century New Orleans, to her rise as the unparalleled queen of voodoo. Was she a healer, a sorceress, or simply a woman who mastered the art of influence and knowledge in a time when both were scarce? We'll dive into the legends, the rituals, and the undeniable charisma that surrounded her, as well as the stories of those who claim to have felt her power long after her death.

Get ready to be immersed in a tale of magic, mystery, and myth, as we seek to separate fact from folklore in the legend of Marie Laveau. Tune in to "Memory Chronicles Podcast" for a captivating journey through the life of a woman who left an indelible mark on the spirit of New Orleans and whose legacy continues to haunt and inspire.

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.
