This “Tell Me a Story” podcast focuses on “instinct.”

In exploring instinct, Mendoza shares the story of a judo coach who teaches teenagers that a powerful tool to protect themselves is built into their bodies.

Mendoza also introduces us to a survivor of the atomic bombing of Japan who proves you can triumph over tragedy.

And he catches up with a Longtime Waikiki beach boy who thanked the emergency responders who saved his life.
