Episode 24

On today's show we wrestle gators in the Miami jungle; become one with nature in Portland, Oregon; attend a unique Seattle film festival; cycle in circles in Fort Lauderdale; and get our bounce on in San Diego. We've got something for the extreme, the scientific, the sporty and the artsy so sit back and enjoy!

To start off today’s show, Miami VJ Alex Pena takes us to the Miami jungle where we’re introduced to daring wrestlers who tangle with some of the fiercest opponents the animal kingdom has to offer.

Welcome back. Next up, VJ Becky Gavigan takes us to Portland, Oregan where a fascinating new science called bio-mimicry is gaining momentum. Becky meets the experts who explain how nature’s best-kept secrets are being unlocked to help create new technologies and help man become one with nature.

Watching movies is a favorite hobby for lots of young people, but why limit yourself to being in the audience? VJ Jessie ZesBah takes us behind the scenes at one of the world’s biggest film festivals for youth in Seattle that proves no one is too young to get behind the camera.

For our next segment, VJ Jen Waylen braves some heavy winds and hits an Olympic style cycling track in Fort Lauderdale to show us what it takes to keep up in a velodrome. And after watching a few regulars race around the oval, Jen takes a few laps herself, equipped with the right gear, of course!

For today’s final segment, VJ Israel Navarro introduces us to a San Diego gymnast who demonstrates breathtaking routines. After watching some world-class trampoline action, Israel decides to give it a try. Let’s just say he’s lucky they’ve got extra mats!
