In this episode, we hear from Jonathan Cormur, host and storyteller of the Dorktales Storytime Podcast. Travel back in time to listen to “The Dorktales Broadcasting System” radio broadcast about the life of Hedy Lamarr! Who knew that Hollywood’s famous film star from the 1930s and 40s was one of the most brilliant minds of her time? Adored by the public as “the most beautiful woman in the world,” Hedy Lamarr’s real talent was technological innovation and invention—from light up dog collars and updated stop lights to aircraft wing design. Her crowning achievement—frequency-hopping—is what makes cell phones, GPS, Bluetooth and wi-fi networks possible.
After you listen, we’ll challenge you to use your imagination in an activity inspired by Hedy Lamarr’s curiosity and passion for invention.
Now let’s listen to the story and learn more about this amazing hero of history!
