You know of the Panama Canal (we already talked about it in Season 1 if you didn't), but you probably had no idea that a second canal has been in plans for a very, very long time now - one that passes through Nicaragua (that's north of Panama).But the delays haven't just been a problem of bureaucracy and budget... the canal would actually have to pass through a delicate natural reserve, where both humans and animals coexist, as well as a lake that certain endangered species call their home. All of this has caused great controversy.And that doesn't even cover half of what has happened (or failed to happen) during the planning and proposed construction of this canal. Because even nuclear warheads (?!) have been considered, and yes, we're not kidding. Want to find out more?

Between 1850 and 1900 it was all the rage for rich, roguish Americans to form private armies to invade and conquer countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. These men were called "Filibusteros" and the most prolific was William Walker, who led invasions of three different countries in an effort to add new slave-holding territories to the U.S. and alter the balance of power toward the South. This minicast references two previous episodes, the linguistic history of "Filibuster" and how the Nicaragua Canal became the Panama Canal. Minicasts are short stories for fans of quick, to-the-point podcasts and as a nice change of pace from the longer full episodes of Mass for Shut-ins.

International Environmental Law and Environmental Hazards of the Nicaragua Canal.Discussion with Professor Daniel Magraw on the environmental consequences of the Nicaragua Canal, which planned path will cut through some of the most biologically diverse areas in the world as well as Central America's largest freshwater lake, Lake Nicaragua, the country's main freshwater supply. We will also look at whether Nicaragua is violating its obligations under international law, including numerous environmental treaties it is a party to in developing the canal through such biologically diverse territory and for failing to provide an adequate environmental impact assessment of the consequences of its construction. Daniel teaches international environmental law at John Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and has previously taught at the University of Colorado, the University of California, Berkeley and Georgetown University Law Center. Before joining SAIS faculty, Daniel was President and Chief Executive Officer of the Center for Environmental Law (CIEL) and continues to work on substantive matters with CIEL. Before joining CIEL, Daniel was the Director of the International Environmental Law Office at the U.S. Environment Protection Agency. Daniel lectures extensively on international environmental law, has written numerous articles and books on the subject and regularly consults with the UN, including serving as an expert adviser to UNEP on the Montevideo IV Programme of Action for the Development of Environmental Law and as an expert on UNEP’s project on access to justice.For More Info:http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/new-canal-through-central-america-could-have-devastating-consequences-180953394/?no-isthttp://www.icj-cij.org/docket/index.php?p1=3&p2=3&case=152http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/index.php?p1=3&p2=3&case=150https://www.proyectoallas.net/documents/161716/190300/Executive+Summary+of+the+Study+GCIN+-+English-1.pdf/4bb1dfb6-b3b6-48ff-897e-07cdf2ee9c27https://treaties.un.org/

Adam Kent has always loved ships and was actually a ship-spotter when he was young. He grew up on the Isle of Wight, but was never meant to work in the shipping industry. Maritime Strategies International is an independent shipping consultancy, producing market forecasting of the shipping markets. In order to do that you need to be on top of everything from steel price, unemployment rates and GDP to oil prices and new regulations.  Adam explains what the drivers are for the various shipping segments and why they have such big impact on earnings and vessel values. We discuss the eco shipping, scrapping, and newbuilding market. We go through the shipbuilding market and we touch upon the new Panama Canal and if there is any credibility to the Nicaragua Canal.  New trading patterns and Adams belief in a constant flow of new regulations to force the shipping industry into becoming more eco-friendly. As you understand, this is like Christmas for the shipping geeks - but hopefully it is also enlightening for those who hasn't seen the light yet, it is a very long and educational episode.
