Jessica Meir | Dispatches

On this episode of Dispatches we’ll meet Uncle Billy, a Hawaiian native who has spent most of his life surfing and fishing the lands, and is now dedicated to guarding and preserving them. Then, we’ll visit Amy Purdy, who despite losing both her legs, has become a successful athlete, and motivational public figure. We’ll learn about Sustainable Surf- an organization dedicated to transforming surf culture into a powerful movement to protect our oceans. And finally, we’ll meet Jessica Meir, whose ambition may lead her to be the first human to ever step foot on Mars.
