14 AUG 2025 · This week we meet Storm. Storm is a serious deep sea fisherman. A passionate deep sea fisherman. Even if it’s only his hobby. Even if he only gets to do his thing a few days each year.

And suddenly wondering about those things he left behind. See https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
