In 2012, while in Somalia to research a book on privacy, journalist Michael Scott Moore was abducted by a gang of local pirates and kept in captivity for 977 days. Soon after, the pirates demanded a ransom of 20 million dollars for his release. We talked about his time in captivity, discussions he had with the pirates, talking to other hostages and his eventful release. On a lighter note, we also talked about his love of surfing and visiting unlikely surfing destinations for his book Sweetness and Blood.Michael's website - http://radiofreemike.net/books/Find The 286 Project on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/the286project About The 286 Project: A podcast talking about art, politics, culture, sport....and anything else we can think of.
