About this listen

Insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perseverance is defined as a persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. But when that 'delay' is 30 years and the 'difficulty' is a cocktail of jellyfish, sharks and tidal forces, does the latter drift towards the former? Diana Nyad stopped at nothing to achieve her goal of swimming from Cuba to Florida but what scuppered her previous efforts? How does the 'shark shield' work? And why is there such debate in the open-water swimming community regarding this achievement? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
