Episode #20 The Burmese Cowboy

A man at sea who wasn't paid his wages for 4 months stands up for himself and his shipmates. A man who stood up to a brutal military dictatorship. A man who was placed on a list and not allowed to go home. He sits down to tell his story to the world, the toughest man I know, The Burmese Cowboy. What is it like when the Chief Engineer is paid to silence you at gunpoint? What is it like to be stranded in a strange land where you don't speak the language? What is it like to be onboard a ship that sinks in a South American river? The Burmese Cowboy answers these questions and more.
There was a documentary made about him. You can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4iRyuCzzI8

Episode #22 Captain Price

In this episode Captain Price talks about Chernobyl, spending the night inside the exclusion zone, and hiking mountains. You know that abandoned, very creepy, and radiated city close to Chernobyl that is the writing material for our nightmares? She spent the night there! Also, how does a girl that girl that grew up in land locked Colorado grow up to be a tug boat Captain in Houston Texas? Why is Crossfit so damn hard? What is it like to climb a huge volcano in South America? We also talk about WISTA, high school maritime programs, and swimming in open water. In this interview you have two people from opposite ends of the spectrum. One who watches way too many shows on Netflix (me) and the other that chases her dreams, around the globe, on a regular basis.
