The RadicalRuss Show
Veteran marijuana activist and podcaster "Radical" Russ Belville records this politics and culture podcast every Monday morning from RoLLaJaY Studios in his undisclosed mountain hideaway in the beautiful State of Jefferson region of Southern Oregon. Russ focuses his unique "Red State Refugee" perspective — born and raised in conservative Idaho, lived and worked in progressive Oregon — on the current topics of sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, politics, religion, and sports, as well as a deep dive into a topical issue in his signature Radical Rant. Russ drills down from national federal level to state issues, then to regional western events, ending with a focus on local Oregon news and, every week, a new reason to boycott his birth state of Idaho. Follow along each week on social media @RadicalRuss.com on Bluesky.

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.
