How many fish are in the sea? It's a question that has had enormous consequences for the fishing community in New Bedford, Massachusetts. But one man managed to find a way around it. That man? The Codfather.

Guest: Ian Coss (iancoss.com/about), host and producer of WBGH's Catching the Codfather (wgbh.org/podcasts/thecodfather)
