Captain James Cook, Homicide Detective: A Conversation with "The Wide Wide Sea" Author Hampton Sides
History is the story of crimes, those acknowledged and obscured. Today, we'll be interviewing author Hampton Sides about his latest book on the final voyage of Captain James Cook.
This is a tale about law and order, about violence and kidnapping, about theft and punishment, about self-defense and multiple homicides. Hampton will share with us the pertinent true crime stories from this history, namely instances of harsh punitive measures from the voyage, the clashes over differing views of law and order and property, Captain Cook’s stint as a homicide detective, and, of course, the disastrous attempted abduction that led to his shocking death.

It can be really hard for us relax at night — we’re always thinking about covering crimes. But the good news is our wonderful new sponsor VIIA has a terrific product that helps us unwind.
VIIA Hemp has a wide range of terrific gummies of both the THC and THC-free varieties, that can help you with focus, recovery, sleep, creativity, or just plain enjoyment. These products legally ship to all 50 states, and you don’t need a medical card to order them.
We really liked Zen in particular. This is a yummy blueberry option that lets you catch a chill, THC-free sleep with help from CBN and CBD. It really helped us turn off our brains and settle down for the night.
We also love Flowstate, a CBG + CBD grapefruit gummy. It helped us feel energized throughout the day — not to brag, but we got a lot done. We're talking about doing several interviews and editing a whole show from start to finish, not to mention jumping on some of the latest filings in the case. It really made us feel sharp and ready to tackle any challenge. We couldn’t recommend this more!
VIIA's THC and THC-free gummies taste delicious and are organic and vegan — this is a company that takes care to use hemp compounds and plant extracts to create a specific mood with their products, including zero-THC products. So anyone looking to ease stress, enhance sleep, or simply have a good time can find the perfect option. VIIA has so many great gummy options to choose from the guava berry low dose that allows you to micro-dose THC to the chill-inducing Delta 9 gummy Dreams.
