Really well done. Eye opening.

I knew nothing if the world of deep sea shipping. So glad I listened.

Captivating, shocking stuff

This is the most incredible tale. I’m shocked about the circumstances within the international fishing industry. Keith sounds like a good smart man - who ended up collateral nothingness in a despicable industry. Consumerism is the most influential entity on the globe - please participate wisely
