Emily Reidel is one of a small group of brave and hardy souls trying to make a living as miners extracting valuable ores...from the (shallower parts of the) bottom of Alaska's Bering Sea. I really can't imagine such a thing but it's the subject of the reality TV series "Bering Sea Gold" (now in something its 14th season) of which new mom Emily Riedel is a star. If wonder if she makes more money from mining or from the show. That's just one of the things I'll ask her.
