Ryan Seacrest with you. And now some college students can
sign up to take a Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Course, right, imagine majoring in Taylor Swift. Well, not really,
but you can at least take a course. Michigan State
shout out to them because they got a new class
called the Taylor Swift Phenomenon and it looks at her
influence through economics, politics, history, gender studies, and even environmental issues.
It's really interesting because the professor's using Taylor's impact as
(00:26):
a way for students to talk about big picture culture topics,
everything from gender criticism to belonging. Basically, it's not just
about Taylor's songs, where we've seen those pop up here
and there, but it's about her presence in pop culture
and how you can explain it to the world that
we live in now. So, I mean, pop culture is
(00:46):
such a big part of our lives and using someone
like Taylor who's had massive culture impact makes it relatable,
makes it fun. And now I'm looking at LMU and
they have the Bad Bundy class. Right, this state has
a Harry Styles class. Let's have some of these tailor classes.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I think it's great and it's really smart to do this.
Through the lens of and create a relatable angle to
learn other broader things. You may see this more often.
How popular do you think that is?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I think it's so popular. Yeah, Like you said, it's
sold out as if it were a concert.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
That's why I keep using the terms sold out. So yeah,
I wish i'dave away tickets to that class. I cannot.
I cannot do that. On air with Ryan Seacrest. It's

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.
