Radiolab | The Water Walker | Radiolab For Kids Presents: Terrestrials | Full Podcast Episode @Radiolabpod | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
From the Radiolab for Kids podcast: A muscly earthling named Duke Kahanamoku figures out a way to stand on the waves.
The ocean can be a scary place: the waves are so strong, the water so deep. But surfer and illustrator AJ Dungo tells the story of the grandfather of modern-day surfing, Duke Kahanamoku, who figured out how to walk on water and literally defy the rules of gravity.
Duke’s great grandniece, Heather Kina’u Paoa, tells us about what Duke’s life was really like. We learn about the physics of surfing, and how surfing is an escape, not just on a spiritual level, but a physical one too. Finally, we learn how Duke’s story of learning to conquer the waves while remaining true to his Hawaiian heritage inspired AJ to get through one of the hardest times of his life.
CONTENT WARNING: this episode deals with the loss of a loved one and grief.
