Our former producer @elnabaker has a new show, "Pretty Sure I Can Fly," in which she and Johnny Knoxville interview people who were the first to do something seemingly impossible. It's about courage and daredevils and human limitation. Check it out: https://t.co/1PTxIVV1e5

We are very sad to hear of the sudden loss of Darryl Lenox, who was in “The Possum Experiment” episode we made last summer, talking about how strangers treated him differently once he lost his sight. https://t.co/QY64fWt9Cf
