We at gCaptain's Maritime Blog thought we would list a few podcasts, interviews and audio files
that relate to the Cosco Busan Incident and the resultant oil spill in
San Francisco Bay. If you find any more of interest please leave a
comment with link below.

Our first file (click on the player below) is a very informative
hour long discussion I heard on the radio earlier today. It is from
KQED’s Forum and is nationaly syndicated by NPR. (Direct Link)

With a criminal probe now
launched by the U.S. attorney in San Francisco into Wednesday’s crash
of the container ship Cosco Busan, Forum looks at whether oil spills
are preventable.
