Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Professional prankster and stunt performer Johnny Knoxville is getting behind the podcast mic for “Pretty Sure I Can Fly” — a show that “explores and celebrates the remarkable and slightly unhinged people who have pushed history forward and redefined the limits of human potential,” per the podcast’s producers. “Pretty Sure I Can Fly,” co-hosted by Knoxville and comedian and writer Elna Baker, will have an exclusive one-week window on Amazon Music and the Wondery+ subscription service before going wide.

It premieres April 8 on Amazon Music and Wondery+ and April 15 on all major podcast platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

The podcast is produced by SmartLess Media — the media company developed out of the hit “SmartLess” podcast from Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett — with Campside Media and Amplify Pictures.

On the podcast, Baker and Knoxville, known for MTV’s “Jackass” show and movie franchise, will host guests including Travis Pastrana (pro motorsports competitor and stunt performer), Garrett McNamara (professional big wave surfer, featured in Amplify Pictures’ “100 Foot Wave” for HBO), Dudley Stokes (legendary Jamaican bobsledder), Ann Daniels (polar explorer), and Tori Murden (first woman and the first American to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean). “Nothing makes me happier than reading about some wonderful nut who has achieved an extraordinary feat under impossible conditions while everyone is telling them it couldn’t or shouldn’t be done,” Knoxville said about his first podcast-hosting gig.
