Host pick: The Outlaw Ocean exposes a new war on poverty
<p>The Outlaw Ocean, according to our host Matthew Amha, “exemplifies the kind of trenchant, deeply reported, serialized journalism that we don't see enough of; and represents the form at its very highest level. Reporting which adds value and colour and context and interrogation to corners of life in desperate need of it.”</p><p><br></p><p>If you liked our podcast, we think you’ll appreciate the urgent, unsettling journalism led by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ian Urbina. His domain is the vast and largely lawless ocean, where forced labour and other human rights abuses are as common as investigative reporting is rare. Like us, he tells stories powerful people don’t want you to know. </p><p><br></p><p>You can find The Outlaw Ocean wherever you get your podcasts: <a href="https://link.mgln.ai/oo-tava " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://link.mgln.ai/oo-tava </a></p>
