SALMONFOLK RADIO is a mixture of contemporary interviews and travelogue tales of how a microbudget film maker from NC (USA) stumbled into the story of where the open net farmed salmon most of us eat comes from and how that truth is stranger than fiction and more dangerous than a lie. This is the world's first podcast dedicated to amplifying the indigenous, activist and scientific voices around the globe regarding the dangers of industrial open net salmon farming. "Salmonfolk" is a community coming into being where we value the connection with wild salmon, get the fish farms out of the world's waters, and cease thinking of salmon as "biomass".
In this final episode of Season One of Salmonfolk Radio we hear Part 2 of the interview with Chief Ernest Alfred.
