On this week’s show we're talking about the amazing story of the Lamalerans, a subsistence whale hunting culture on a small island off the coast of Indonesia. It's a story of the struggle to balance tradition with modernity told vividly in guest Doug Bock Clark's book, "The Last Whalers." Clark joins the show to discuss the three years he spent with the Lamalerans and the amazing lessons he learned along the way. Enjoy.
