So this week’s show was mostly recorded from my hospital bed. Feeling better!

Anyway, this week we are thrilled to have Captain Sig Hansen join us from the Discovery Channel’s long running hit show Deadliest Catch. The famous
We get into the long Norwegian heritage of the Hansen family as commercial fisherman. We’ll also talk about the old days and some of the close calls associated with the Northwestern. Fast money and even faster lives, the Bering Sea fisherman works hard and plays even harder.
