Since Captain Phil is currently out at sea and hauling gear and crab as we speak, we thought it might be a good time to review some of the events and interviews that have taken place over the summer.

EW.com had an interesting article, The EW 100–Stars We Love Right Now Capt. Phil was right there with Mike Rowe, Les Stroud, and Sig Hansen.  Why them?  EW responds, Whether it’s Stroud coping with the world’s harshest environments on Survivorman, Rowe tackling Dirty Jobs, or Alaskan king crab fishermen Hansen and Harris going after The Deadliest Catch, the quartet risk life, limb, and personal hygiene for our edutainment. (We’d have included Man vs. Wild’s Bear Grylls in the photo, too, if he weren’t climbing Everest!)
