**We know there are audio issues with this episode (Tanner recorded with the wrong mic, among other things) but it has been cleaned up to the best of our abilities; we hope it doesn't distract too much from the excellent discussion we got to have!**

This week it's Jaylan Salah (@jaylansalman) on the guest mic to discuss one of the most famous maritime incidents in US history - the 1989 grounding of the tanker Exxon Valdez  and the subsequent oil spill that saw portions of the Alaskan coastline devastated with lasting negative effects.
