The "godfather of skating" and a dancer on the importance of play

What this episode covers

A new documentary, “Playing for Keeps,” posits that we benefit a lot from play and actually suffer when we're deprived of doing so. Isabella Miller, who pre-pandemic would regularly go swing dancing, and David Miles Jr., known as the “godfather of skating” and the proprietor of San Francisco’s roller disco, the Church of 8 Wheels, are featured in the film. They joined "Civic" to talk about what it feels like to play, why it matters, and how they're handling the pandemic.
