Episode 16 - Talking with Madison O'Connell about her film Tails of Confinement and the many issues with captive cetaceans

Madison is an animal photojournalist and filmmaker and an activist for cetacean (whale and dolphin) captivity. We talked about her student film Tails of Confinement, the many issues of keeping orcas and other cetaceans in captivity, and her more. You can find out more about Madison's work here: https://www.instagram.com/mediabymads/ and watch the Tails of Confinement here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeUyUNJT-Vk 

There was a bit of a technical hitch at the start but we got through it. There is also a small amount of comedy at the end with a friendly birthday shoutout, but I hope this doesn't detract from or lessen the incredibly important, sobering and tragic topics that me and Madison discussed.
