In this episode we chat to actor and friend April Pearson! April played Michelle in 2007 hit TV series Skins, and became something of a symbol of noughties teenage rebellion. We talk about what it's like to be best known for your first acting role, body-shaming in the entertainment industry and the dark side of intimacy on-screen. Please bear in mind that this episode is intended for adults and might not be suitable for all listeners. We were lucky enough to be guests on April's podcast 'Are You Michelle from Skins?' last year, and it's back for a new season!

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.
