The End of the Line is a podcast produced by Reginald Walden, producer of "The Walden Watch: A Marine Invasive Species Podcast." This series explores the past, present, and future of overfishing, one fish at a time. We will learn about the past abundance of our fisheries, how they declined, and their uncertain future in a changing ocean.

In this episode, we will explore the history of the Atlantic cod, one of the most important fish in human history. We will learn about how cod fishing sustained vikings on long-distance voyages, drove European colonization of North America, and sparked geopolitical conflict between Britain and Iceland during the Cold War.
