    Interesting Podcast, but…
    …where was the investigation into the company that owned the boat? The name of the company that owned the boat is only given passing mention. What about any history of other incidents on that boat or other boats owned by the company that owned the fleet of boats? Were they ever cited for other things? Did they have a history of infractions or other observers on other boats in the fleet? I mean, I’m not perfect, *maybe* I missed it, but I really don’t think so since I spent all 6 and 1/2 episodes waiting to hear about the boat owners / or the fleet’s history of incidents or citations etc. (tbh, I bailed on the last episode because I was so disappointed that the most crucial aspect of the investigation never even began) This was a well-done podcast, very enjoyable and informative, with the exception of that one glaring oversight. 😏

    Very interesting insight into this industry. If you care about where your fish comes from you should listen to this.

    Eye opening and interesting!
    This was a really unique topic that I haven’t ever thought about or even knew existed. This is set up as a crime/mystery podcast, and while there IS an investigation, it was different than many of the others I listen to, so don’t expect a clear answer to this case specifically. However I still found it really engaging, and there was a lot to uncover and learn about from what this specific case exposed, and I binged the whole thing in one day. This is also a good length, and doesn’t feel like there’s a ton of filler, which I appreciated. It felt like it lasted exactly as long as it needed to, without trying to jam more episodes in there. Highly recommend!

    Appreciation From The US
    Excellent investigative work and a very unique story. I absolutely LOVE this! BBC podcasts and news coverage seem to speak the truth with little to no slant. As an American, I can’t tell you how refreshing and desperately needed that is. Never stop BBC! I can’t wait to listen to your next podcast Rachel!

    More Maritime Stories!
    I’m in the US w/ subscription, all episodes played w/ no problem for me. I loved this series! Very insightful, yet mysterious. I loved learning about an occupation I had never heard of. Not enough maritime content so this was a joy. Thank you!
