The Maersk Alabama Hijacking

Captain Phillips is woken up at 03.30 AM. The person on the so-called 'dog watch' between midnight and four o'clock has reported hearing strange voices on the radio. The message is as blunt as it is terrifying: "This is Somali Pirate, I'm coming to get you".

The hosts in this episode are Maya Nalani and Luke Welland. The script is written by Patrick Smith. Sound design: Viktor Persson. Mayday is produced by the podcast company qast.
