Border Masters

Border Masters

Welcome to the bilingual podcast where the U.S.-Mexico border takes center stage—a place where two nations meet and lives intersect, enriching a vibrant binational region. We invite leaders, experts, and visionaries—our 'Border Masters'—who view the border as more than just a boundary but as an opportunity to achieve their personal and professional goals. Through engaging conversations, we celebrate those who have impressive achievements and those striving to make a lasting impact. Ready to share your journey? Let’s connect at the border.

    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.
