Tom's next guest this morning is Diana Nyad. In 2013, she became the first person ever to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage. She completed the 111-mile trek after four unsuccessful attempts. She was 64 years old. Her first-hand account of that record-breaking swim, Find a Way, was published in October 2015 by Knopf/Doubleday.
She will be at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore tomorrow night to speak on the Baltimore Speakers Series, hosted by Stevenson University. WYPR’s Sheilah Kast will host that event.
