Our story in focus this week is about the cargo ship that burnt off the coast of Sri Lanka. So much debris and dangerous chemicals have been released from the ship, that it is now on track to be the one of the worst environmental disasters.

As part of the seven overlooked stories in this week’s episode, we will also touch on stories that range from how an artist made real US$18,000 from imaginary art, the executive from the Make-A-Wish foundation that embezzled money, and to new that scientists may have now sequenced the entirety of the human genome.
