The River Radius Podcast

In September of 2020 at Kanawha Falls in West Virginia, a river rescue at midnight occurred and was given an award and labeled the “Midnight Miracle.”  A group of 13 kayakers and rafters responded late that night to a facebook post about a lone kayak floating at the falls.  At the 2 year anniversary of the rescue, we went with the rescued kayaker when he ran the falls again for the first time since his rescue.  He and the rescue crew tell the story.

In the late 1980s, a group of river boaters from the United States reached out to river boaters in the Soviet Union, modern day Russia.  And they began an international river running friendship called Project RAFT; Russians & Americans For Teamwork.  Big volume rivers of Siberia and the Altai Mountains.  Friendships that are still intact today.

Is there a right associated with being able to float down a river and to engage in that joy and risk?  What happens when life circumstances create barriers to accessing risk?  The National Ability Center (NAC) is a river rafting outfit that focuses on developing access to rivers for all people.  We spent a day this summer running a river with NAC and their boats full of participants learning about access.
