Hello, world.

On number 58 of the Concrete Podcast, our guest is Lincoln O'Berry.

Lincoln is a filmmaker and activist who, like his father, Rick, has dedicated his life to ending the captivity and slaughter of wild dolphins.

Lincoln has been traveling to countries all over the world, releasing captive dolphins since he was six years old,

including places like

Taiji, Japan, which happens to be the birthplace of Japanese whaling. In fact, in 2009, Lincoln and

Rick created a documentary called The Cove, which won the 2010 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.

The Cove is a call to action to halt mass dolphin kills, change Japanese fishing practices,

and educate the public of the risks of mercury poisoning and dolphin and whale meat.

Lincoln also directed and executive produced, the award-winning Animal Planet series Blood Dolphins,

which documents the lucrative captive dolphin trade in the Solomon Islands.

This podcast really gives a gripping perspective on one of the most brutal and inhumane practices

that is still happening in our world today.

So without further ado, please enjoy this episode with Lincoln O'Berry. So thanks again for doing this, Lincoln.

Glad to do it.
