Recently listened to it. Appreciate them looking at the various angles. The history bits are excellent, once again I learned things about people of colour which I wouldn't have otherwise.
I've actually been to Iceland several times, and once I took the chance to try whale after much assurance from a local that when it comes to ethics, it's fine and within quota. That said, I wish I had the willpower to be a vegetarian. It would be ideal to me if we no longer needed any animals to sustain ourselves. But some foods are just too good and don't have perfect replacements yet. I hope that with lab grown meats whale will also become an option. So that they can live free and full lives. Unless the one guy on the show was right about overpopulation. I didn't feel he was the best source. But wildlife management is a thing, especially since we're meddling in nature, so now we're responsible too. It's a tough and emotionally changed subject.
