Episode 369: Captain Phillips and the Maersk Alabama Hijacking

You may recognize him from the famous line in his biopic - “I’m the captain now,” but there was more to this merchant mariner’s story than what Hollywood depicted. Failed sabotage attempts. Savage beatings. And a lot of chocolate Pop-Tarts. This week’s episode is Captain Phillips and the Maersk Alabama Hijacking.
