Pretty Sure I Can Fly is a humorous exploration of things that had never been done, until someone did them. It’s a series of weekly conversations about what it takes to break through the barrier of “impossible” and set new standards for human limitation. Pretty Sure I Can Fly is like going to history class, except your teachers are actor, stuntman, and outlaw radio DJ Johnny Knoxville and long-time This American Life contributor Elna Baker. And each week they bring a new guest to tell you all about how they “grabbed the bull by the bunglesteen” or “really hogwrenched that spatooly.”

Interesting Guests

I particullary enjoyed the Anne Dennis episode. Johnny and Elena are great interviewers and don’t talk over guests.

Great stories and hosts!

I’m really enjoying this podcast. Not only are the stories incredible but Elna and Johnny are fantastic hosts who bring a fun and engaging element to each story. I’m looking forward to many more episodes with this pair, and excited to see who they interview next.

Fantastic duo, fascinating stories!

I have been a huge fan of Johnny Knoxville for decades and always recognized him as a far more creative and intelligent person than a lot of people did in his early days. I am so excited to hear him interview people he finds interesting and brave. In the first few episodes I have enjoyed getting to know Elna and think her and Johnny are such a great balance. Can’t wait to see who they talk to next!
