Hey, it's John. So if you haven't heard, I started a newsletter related to our work on

scene on radio. Reflections on stuff in the news, maybe behind the scenes updates at times.

It's called Keeping Score. Score is spelled without the E, S-C-O-R.

Get it, it's an acronym for Scene on Radio.

You can find it at buttondown.com

slash keeping score.

If you think you can use one more newsletter in your life from me,

subscribe.

That's buttondown.com slash keeping S-C-O-R.

Hello again, everybody. It's John Bewin, keeping busy here, working away, making recordings

for season eight, alongside our amazing little team.

And in the meantime, coming to you with the next in our Between Seasons mini-series that I'm

calling a few of my favorite things. These are episodes from limited series that I have really

liked and learned from, and that I think you might want to hear,

too, if you haven't already found them.

Next up is an episode of The Outlaw Ocean.

The series, by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Ian Urbina,

takes listeners to what you could call the most lawless place on earth,

the high seas. This episode from season one explores why the world's oceans are running low on

fish. It uncovers brutal exploitation of sea life and of people, in this case African people.

As you listen, you might find yourself thinking of those seen on radio episodes from West Africa

and reporter Ugochi Anyaka Uliibo in seasons five and seven.
