Fisherman beside himself during rare encounter with ‘massive' orcas off Hawaii
Dalton Umayam's unmuted footage is not posted below because of his profane commentary, but those who wish to view the footage can click on this Instagram link. It shows both orcas alongside his boat off the Kona Coast. (Orca sightings off Hawaii are extremely rare.)
Umayam's description: 'Sorry for the cussing. Adrenaline is pumping. [My] 16-foot boat feels so small next to these huge creatures.'

The footage was featured by local media outlets, which dubbed over Umayam's commentary. The Hawaii News Report version is posted below.
Those who aren't offended by salty language might wish to compare both clips to determine which is more compelling.

A Podcast for the Questions Rarely Asked
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. When Wesley Morris, a critic at large for the Culture desk at The New York Times, was brainstorming what he wanted to do with his new podcast, he had carte blanche to invite pretty much any guest he wanted. But he didn't just want to talk to celebrities. Mr. Morris, who has won two Pulitzer Prizes for criticism, wanted to talk to the people who write about culture and the artists who make it, whether they were his friends or colleagues, or someone else who might have interesting things to say about why a particular show, character or maker had cut through the noise. 'The thing about having critics and writers come on is that they're used to talking about art and culture,' Mr. Morris said. 'But artists would love to talk about things they're not normally asked about.' In the new weekly conversation show he is hosting, 'Cannonball,' which debuted last month and drops new episodes on Thursdays, Mr. Morris said he seeks to explore culture 'in the broadest possible sense.' So far, that has brought us conversations with the writer Mark Harris about the new Pee-wee Herman documentary and what it means for artists to publicly come out, and with the chef and cookbook author Samin Nosrat about her love-hate relationship with FX's restaurant industry drama 'The Bear.' In an interview, Mr. Morris shared his favorite podcasts and his dream guest for 'Cannonball.' These are edited excerpts from the conversation. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
