Description

This week's episode is exclusively about the Modoc, the ship of the Earthrace conservation that ventured among the Chinese Overseas Fleet of squid fishing vessels to film documentary footage highlighting the global overfishing problem. 
We interview Jack Bundle and Josh Martin, two crewmembers of the Modoc, about how they got involved with Earthrace, their experiences working on the boat, and what life was like day-to-day. (0:30-36:30). We then talk to Captain Pete Bethune, the captain of the Modoc, about the genesis of the project, the operation of getting the film crew aboard one of the fishing vessels, and how the documentary footage was shot. (36:35-59:38)
Note - this episode does include descriptions which may be troubling to some listeners. Please listen with a note of understanding that fishing, especially commercial fishing, can be a dangerous business.
