Mr. Acapulco and the Rise of Cliff Diving

Ahead of next week's podcast with cliff diver David Colturi, we rewind the clock to a man named Teddy Stauffer. The Swiss-born big band leader fled the Nazis and created a nightlife paradise in the sleepy fishing village of Acapulco in the 1940s and 50s. The crown jewel? La Perla, where Frank Sinatra and Rita Hayworth gathered to party and watch the famed cliff divers of La Quebrada breathe new life into an ancient sport. Hosted on Acast.
