On Episode 15 I chat to my good friend Richard Heaven about his time out at sea with the Merchant Navy!
I knew extremely little about the Merchant Navy before going into this conversation and had a hell of a lot of preconceptions about it too. Richard is someone I have know for a long time within the punk scene, he is extremely knowledgable about music (amongst lots of other things), as well as being a great writer & artist, so I was really excited to see what his experience has been whilst carrying out his Officer Cadetship in Nautical Science.
We talk about they myths associated with working out at sea, about gender quality within the Merchant Navy, about loneliness out at sea and about a whole lot of other things I knew absolutely zero about before this chat. I hope you enjoy it and learn as much as I did!
