Description

In 1999, Tori Murden became the first woman to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She later went on to become the first woman to ski to the South Pole and climb the Lewis Nunatak mountain in the Antarctic. That's not to mention her time serving AIDS wards, spreading health awareness among heroin addicts, working for Muhammad Ali, and serving as the president of Spalding University. Oh, also she hates when we brag on her accomplishments.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pretty Sure I Can Fly is a humorous exploration of things that had never been done, until someone did them. It’s a series of weekly conversations about what it takes to break through the barrier of “impossible” and set new standards for human limitation. Pretty Sure I Can Fly is like going to history class, except your teachers are actor, stuntman, and outlaw radio DJ Johnny Knoxville and long-time This American Life contributor Elna Baker. And each week they bring a new guest to tell you all about how they “grabbed the bull by the bunglesteen” or “really hogwrenched that spatooly.”
