Everyday America
Remember when you used to be able to pick up “the other line” and listen in on private conversations? Yeah, it’s like that, but without the other line...and it’s totally legit! Everyday America is a podcast where you’ll get to listen in on your friends, neighbors and fellow Americans as they tell the personal stories that mean the most to them. As a producer I’ve spent my career telling stories. From TV pilots to news, from corporate executives to sports figures and celebrities, I have interviewed and told the stories of countless individuals. My name is Gregory King and I'm the host of Everyday America. Join me each week, and hear the personal stories of your neighbors, your friends, and your fellow Americans as you listen in on Everyday America. What's your story?

013 Waterway Interviews - Young Jake Beats Cancer

Episode 13
Today we’re going to hear another story from what I call the Waterway Interviews, captured during a documentary expedition in a small boat, from Norfolk to Boston.
Each day we’d end up in a new port and each day we’d find someone to interview. I collected a batch of interviews from an interesting cross-section of Americans.
This interview takes place in Norfolk, and in this shortest of episodes we hear from Jake and his father Dave. At 17 Jake was diagnosed with Lymphoma. As the family and friends rallied, Jake began a fight for his life, a fight that fortunately he was able to win.
Here, he and his dad tell the story of Team Jake.
