EPISODE 18: The Daring World of Daredevils Examined
This week, we explore the amazing world of Daredevils.
Why do they risk their lives to entertain the public and what kind of lives do they really live. Nik Wallenda, the “King of the Highwire” is the 7th generation of the famous Wallenda family and he tells us of his life and upcoming history-making events, including the recreation of the 7-Man highwire pyramid which claimed the lives of three family members in the 1960s; Murrugun the Mystic explains how he swallowed a rocket-powered sword and lived to tell us about it; we go hunting for the Yeti in the Himalayas with Jeremiah Greer; we visit with Kelly Jo Gehrke of the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in the Wisconsin Dells; we’ll hear of an old lady who literally ran circles around a tree in hopes of a grandchild; and we learn how jilting a lover can really be dangerous to your health.
Ripley Radio Explores the Amazing World of Daredevils on the January 18 Episode.
