Hello kids, this is Risk, the show where people tell true stories they never thought they

dared to share.

I'm Kevin Allison and every Thursday we release these special episodes where we look

back at content from our earlier years.

Every other Thursday we feature just one classic story from the vaults.

We ask that you keep the historical context in mind.

Today in 2021 there's a different consciousness.

We've always asked storytellers to speak in as unfiltered away as possible and yet to

tell their stories with as much compassion as possible.

Even so I'm sure the storytellers and the host might have worded some of what they said

on these old episodes differently if they'd been recorded more recently.

As always the title of the whole series Risk is itself a content warning.

This week a story that Jill Heinerth first shared on the show in October of 2019, here's

Jill now with a story we call stepping into the darkness.

I'm a cave diving explorer.

Now that's pretty abstract to most people.

I can't even envision that there are water filled tunnels and spaces beneath their feet.

My job is to go explore those places and to go to places where nobody has ever been before.

Places that are completely void of light.

This is where I have to run a thin nylon guideline and squeeze through unimaginably small spaces

to get to the next giant cavernous void where I can explore and see things that are beyond

your imagination.
