Summary
This is a preview of a bonus episode! Find the rest, along with our extensive backlog of bonus episodes, here! This week, writer and journalist Imogen West-Knights comes on the pod to talk about shrimp farming, the joys of looking after small, low-maintenance sea creatures, and what it’s taught her about caregiving. We talk about the slightly shady, online-based Shrimp economy, the community of shrimp owners, centred around the subreddit r/shrimptank, and how looking after shrimp has affected her real-life relationships.
