We get the story of the Oompa-Loompas and Augustus goes up the pipe. Parables about benign exploitation and colonialization followed by a short tale of gluttony.
What is life like as a modern sailor, a tiny person on a huge ship in a vast ocean? Here is your answer. Episode 2 brings you a rare look into the lives of two Filipino sailors, fresh off a trip across the Pacific Ocean. These are regular people doing heroic work to support their families. And without them, the global economic order doesn't work.
You know you’ve always wanted to ride in a tugboat as it pushes around
a huge cargo ship, right? Well, that’s what we do in Episode 3. We go
inside working life on the San Francisco Bay to see how brutal
competition among shipping companies threatens the viability of the
small businesses that ply the waters. Meet a tugboat dispatcher, a
skipper, and the first female captain of an American freighter. It’s a
case study in how globalization works and our first look at the
challenges the port faces.
The coffee world has changed since Starbucks rose to prominence. Not only has the sourcing of beans acquired wine-like precision, but now there are many small, local roasters. How'd this all happen?

We’re guided by Aaron Van der Groen, the green coffee buyer for San Francisco’s legendary roaster Ritual Coffee.
Possibly the most interesting episode so far. This one has some specifics which I hadn’t read in The Box or seen in snippets in other places. I was hoping for more specifics like this throughout the series, but have been generally disappointed until now.
