#84 Underway and Unfiltered: Politics, Pirates and AI on the Solent

Rory joins live from a moving boat for a wide‑ranging episode that blends nautical anecdotes with sharp political debate. The hosts recap highlights from a UK Column event, including Raja Miah’s whistleblower testimony about the child sexual exploitation scandal and how the justice system allegedly responded. They riff on press curiosities (the Mirror Dinghy vs. the Express Pirate), swap Shetland stories, and share laughs about galleons and splinters. Interwoven throughout are warnings about using AI for legal advice, the pitfalls of online reputation, and a teaser about an upcoming story involving CalMac and Ferguson’s shipyard.
