37. Captured by Pirates

In 2011 the journalist Michael Scott Moore was on assignment in Somalia on an assignment to document the spread of piracy in the Gulf of Aden. Just before he took a flight home, gunman stopped his car and forced him to get out. This was the beginning of 977 days in captivity. I had the opportunity to speak with Moore before he left for Somalia on his initial trip, and once he was freed. This is a recording of our conversation. #somalia #piracy #hostage #journalism The Desert and the Sea: Moore's Website : Get Exclusive Updates on Patreon: My weekly newsletter on Substack
