Episode notes

"I kept looking back down river and almost thinking of my life as something. It was almost like I had already died," he said. "You need that contact actually just perceive the world make sense of it" He says there's a host of crocodiles outside his tent, 27 black men who came in at night to take fish from him. 'It doesn't help also that Santiago told me these stories where you hear Capitins sounding not quite monkeys'
