Wait, Wait...
On this week’s ‘Not My Job’ segment of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, the guest contestant is open water swimmer Becca Mann, who became the first person to swim through the 40-mile channel crossing three Hawaiian islands. Her conversation with guest-host Negin Farsad (who, alas, is overly giggly and overly enthusiastic whenever she sits in – though it at least actually fits more appropriately in this interview) is light-hearted and interesting, including when talking about what, if anything, makes her scared on her swims. And no, it’s not sharks. Along with the challenges of swimming for so long in salt water. And a fun question about hotel pools.
This is the full Wait, Wait… broadcast, but you can jump directly to the “Not My Job” segment, it starts at the 20:30 mark.
