Sinopsis
Ever wondered how a wobbly bag of water turned into a cultural symbol of comfort and rebellion? Meet the man who started it all! In this episode, Mark Kinsley dives into the deep end with Charlie Hall, the legendary inventor of the waterbed. Charlie spills the story of how a graduate project aimed at comfort morphed into a nationwide sensation that made waves in the bedroom (literally). From his original vision of a super-comfy chair to pioneering an entire sleep revolution, Charlie gives us the behind-the-scenes scoop on the highs, lows, and splashes along the way. Plus, he talks about his other ventures, like creating sun showers for happy campers, and even a few tales about frolicking (interpret that as you wish) on early waterbed prototypes. Whether you’re a sleep enthusiast, a curious inventor, or just someone who appreciates comfort, this episode will have you floating with interest.
