Worth Repeating: Robert Flynn Hopes You Don't Go To Antarctica

Robert Flynn is an author who, in addition to several awards, had a book named one of the year's best by The New York Times. He is a world traveler having traveled to six continents with his family. The seventh and final continent was elusive though. His charms, of which he has many, proved useless against his wife, who held no interest in his life-long goal of going to Antarctica.

He enlisted the help of his grandson to make the journey. It would be one that satisfied his childhood ambition.

Paul served at Texas Public Radio from 2011 to 2025, most recently leading the Accountability Desk.
