The Captain and the Kid sweeps you back to a world of daring childhood adventures and unforgettable survival. Set in the gritty streets of 1960s Toronto, this true-life story follows ten-year-old David Blackmore as he navigates the alleys of Regent Park, shines shoes for pocket change on bustling Yonge Street, and dives into the murky waters of the Don River. Every corner holds a thrill, every street its own pulse. It’s an era of newspaper hustles, jump-offs, and wild freedom—a time when kids created their own playgrounds from concrete, curiosity, and courage.
But one fateful day, David’s quest for adventure leads him to a rubber raft on Lake Ontario, drifting farther and farther from shore. Alone in the cold, dark expanse of the lake, he faces a night of survival that will change his life forever.
Enter Captain Archie Hodge—a seasoned mariner and Canadian hero—who risks everything to track down the lost boy in an audacious rescue that forges a lifelong bond. Through that harrowing ordeal, David discovers the strength of the human spirit and the quiet heroism of those who bring us back from the brink.
More than a tale of survival, Captain and the Kid invites listeners into a bygone world of resilience, grit, and the power of second chances. For those drawn to adventure, nostalgia, and the enduring ties of community, this is a story that will stay with you long after the final tick.
