Hunting Warhead is coming back, but first: Real talk on high-risk reporting

They say you should never meet your heroes. Daemon Fairless disagrees. First, he has an update on the return of Hunting Warhead. But then he takes us behind-the-scenes on another project he’s been working on as a story editor: The Outlaw Ocean. This is a frank, illuminating discussion with Ian Urbina, the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who quit his New York Times job to do some of the hardest, most difficult and often dangerous reporting in the world. He’s since become the de facto beat reporter for the world’s oceans — and his investigations reveal the shocking prevalence of forced labour, mind-boggling overfishing, and the hard truth is that it’s all connected to the cheap seafood we love. If you have the stomach for the kind of viscerally tough reporting we do on Hunting Warhead, we know you’ll appreciate The Outlaw Ocean — another show that sheds light on the darkest corners of the world, and goes where others won’t.
