The radio DJ who debuted at age 73, a 20-year quest to get on Jeopardy, and more stories of late bloomers Podcast Playlist

    • Society & Culture

This week on Podcast Playlist we're listening to stories about late bloomers.

The first time Jean Westcott auditioned for Jeopardy, she had to wait 18 months to see if she made it. She never got the call. But instead of giving up, she auditioned again… and again… and again… for 20 years. We’ll hear her story.

Plus, what does it take to swim from Cuba to Key West? We’ll hear from record-breaking swimmer Diana Nyad on completing that swim at 64 years old.

All that and more this week.

Featuring: Snap Judgement, This Is Love, Death, Sex & Money, 70 Over 70, Grown from The Moth
