Dimples Nation… welcome back to another dimplified episode of The Dimple Report, the only podcast celebrating dimples in all their forms — cheek dimples, chin dimples, Indian dimples, corner-mouth dimples, shoulder dimples, elbow dimples, and the legendary Dimples of Apollo.

In this episode, host Graceful Grady brings you a powerful mix of history, invention, and unexpected dimple magic.

📸 Dimple Spotlight: George Eastman (Kodak)
We shine the spotlight on George Eastman, the founder of Kodak — a man with a signature cleft chin who revolutionized photography and made it accessible to everyday people. Discover how Eastman’s innovation opened the doors for Black Americans to document their lives, create businesses in photography, and capture generations of family history that had never been seen before.

💦 Dimple Drops: Lonnie Johnson
Then we dive into the brilliant mind of Lonnie Johnson, the inventor of the Super Soaker (originally called the Power Drencher/Super Shooter). We break down:
– How his accidental discovery led to one of the most iconic toys ever
– His $73 million judgment in the lawsuit against Hasbro
– And his induction into the National Toy Hall of Fame
All told in a fun, educational, and dimplified way.

This episode brings together innovation, culture, and the incredible impact of two men whose ideas changed the world — one through a camera lens and the other through a backyard water battle.

Hit play, share with your fellow dimple lovers, and stay Dimplified!
