We talk to author and journalist, Sam Baltrusis, about the haunted side of Salem Mass. As one of the oldest cities in the United States and a historically divisive place in regard to respect for alternative beliefs, it's bound to carry the haunting energy of its past.

Side note: Our producer dove into the Ghosts of Salem: Haunts of the Witch City (Haunted America) book & has not been heard from since. Apparently, once you start reading one of Sams's books you move to the next before coming up for air.

If you plan to visit the New England area any time soon or in the future, we highly recommend reading some of the history beforehand via Sams books.

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.
