Capt'n Tor and Gwenyvarr The Pirate Republic

For extended show notes and more pirate goodies, visit www.UnderTheCrossbones.com  

Capt'n Tor and the Ne'er Do Well Cads Pirate Invasion are a highly theatrical pirate music experience.  In this interview Tor and 1st mate Gwenyvarr Blackshades Lovelocket sit down with me to dig into their philosophies behind the show, the music, being full time pirates, and how they've helped people discover new things about themselves by taking on a fictional pirate character.

Their enthusiasm is infectious and if you don't feel the need to hang out with these after listening to this talk, you're dead inside. :) 

 

Plus comedy from Tony Alfano and the song "Surrender the Gold" by Capt'n Tor and the Ne'er Do Well Cads Pirate Invasion.

Tom Butler The Pirate Republic

For extended show notes and more pirate goodies, visit www.UnderTheCrossbones.com  

 

Tom Butler heads up Green Feet Games where they're working on their new board game, The Pirate Republic.  And he's got some really interesting ideas about game design that I think you'll dig.  

He's also a Special Ops Combat Rescue Officer in his day job.  Heck of a day job.  So of course we can't let that go by without some discussion.  But we were able to neatly tie in to both his board game and the history of pirates.  Really intriguing stuff.

Plus comedy from Nic Flair and a holiday song from yours truly, Phil Johnson and Roadside Attraction.

Matt Stone is the founder and head honcho of Sea Wolf Clothing and Buccaneer Board Riders.  He's in the biz of making cool casual pirate clothes for pirate fans, tourists, and surfers.

This talk goes in totally unexpected directions right off the bat.  Matt's favorite pirate musician will surprise you.  We'll talk about his deep (blood) relations to the Pirates of the Caribbean films, his background in high fashion (and the famous designer who told him to move back to California).

Plus you'll find out which piece of clothing he thinks needs to go, but just won't die.

Plus comedy from Prateek Srivastava and a song called "6AM" from Neil Hewitt.

Brigada Pirata

For extended show notes and more pirate goodies, visit www.UnderTheCrossbones.com  

 

On this episode we sit down with all the members of Brigada Pirata, Turin, Italy's best (and probably only) pirate band.

These dudes are tons of fun and super high energy.  In between telling us about their extremely varied musical backgrounds, they'll break out in spontaneous song.

The accents run thick and deep, but this is a really fun talk that you might have to listen to a couple times to catch all the gems. 

Plus comedy from Phil Johnson (that's me!) and a song called "Sails and Guns" from Brigada Pirata.

Salty Sam's Pirate Cruise

For extended show notes and more pirate goodies, visit www.UnderTheCrossbones.com  

 

Coming to you from Chicago this week with an interview I recorded a couple weeks ago in Florida with Veta, Ashley, and Mike of Salty Sam's Pirate Cruise in Fort Myers.

The task of putting on a show for all age groups in the confines of a ship is an interesting one.  And we'll dig into what goes into their show, how they run it, and where their characters come from.

And a little pleading/ranting/complaining and a story about a man in a truck from me at the beginning.  

Plus comedy from Pete Munoz and a song called "Burning Van" from Big Mean Sound Machine.

Another episode of Blackbeard stories? Yes! But from a different angle. Courtney Page and Kim Kenyon are part of the Queen Anne's Revenge wreck project.  

They've got great stories about the wreck itself and their part in bringing all the cool stuff up to the surface for conservation.  Plus we'll get the origin stories of how they each came to be on the project.

Michael Manerchia of Marcus Hook Preservartion Society

For extended show notes and more pirate goodies, visit www.UnderTheCrossbones.com  

Happy Halloween!  I got this week's episode out a day early for you because Michael Manerchia, president of the Marcus Hook Preservation Society has some great ghost stories to give you a few Halloween shivers.

Marcus Hook, PA was a haven for pirates during the Golden Age - a secret party town where the pirates could blow off some steam.  It was also a regular hangout of Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet.  And...so the legend of the house goes... Blackbeard's mistress.

Michael has some really fascinating stories about the town of Marcus Hook and the houses that made him an accidental archaeologist. 

 

Plus comedy from Justin Hoff, who you can also see more of in the video below.  

Sorry, no music this week.  I put the word out for bands to send me stuff to play and didn't get a response.  And I'm on the road performing and didn't have time to chase them down.

For extended show notes and more pirate goodies, visit www.UnderTheCrossbones.com  

 

Erikka Innes is a comedian and filmmaker.  A few years back she made a short film called "Pool Pirates" that I was lucky enough to be in.  

The film is about a crew of pirates that have lost their ship and take over a suburban backyard pool.  Very funny!

We talk a lot about the indie filmmaking process in this one and the learning curve of a first time filmmaker.

Tim Murphy is an animation trained artist with a new comic book series called Pirates of Padre Tiempo that you'll really dig if you're into comics.  We'll talk about the stories themselves, his Kickstarter to fund the second issue, and his artistic background.

We'll also dig into the perceptions of "family friendly" - both with people who want violence and sex with their stories and parents who may be waaaay overly concerned with stuff that's not there.  And we'll find out what Tim's story challenges were as an artist coming to the writing part.

The St Augustine Pirate Museum has one of the largest collections of real pirate artifacts anywhere.  And today we talk with two of the head honchos over there, Cindy Stavely and Captain Mayhem.

We'll dig into where they get their stuff and who Pat Croce is.  Plus the various ways that they educate people about pirate history and culture.  Everything from real sunken treasure to Hollywood.

And St Augustine is a mighty piratey place, so we also get into how they stay on the good side of the traditionalists and still entertain the tourists.  

Plus comedy from Adam Feuerberg and a great song from Reisender called "Body".

Dane Bennett ake Admiral Basi Drake is the lead singer for Pride of Bedlam, this year's International Pirate Awards winners for Favorite Band.

In this great talk we dig into how Dane discovered Ren Faires and the pirate scene after his divorce (and eventually met his current wife), how POB designs their music to stand out in the pirate folk genre, playing a character on stage and dealing with regular folks on stage.  

Lots of good "inside the brain of performing artists" in this one.  And Dane tells us why he thinks pirates have stuck around longer than other characters.

Ye Banished Privateers is one of the hottest pirate bands in Europe and one of my personal faves.  Our first interview attempt resulted in some unfortunate sound problems.  But here in our second attempt, the gods of technology smiled upon us I had a great talk with somewhere between 4 and 87 members of the band.  

We'll dig into the band's origin story, the crazy way they're recording their new album, and the pros and cons of having 30 (not kidding) people in a band.

Plus comedy from the always dangerous Dougie Almeida and <drum roll> a world premier song from Ye Banished Privateers new album called "First Night Back In Port"!

Javier Dominguez of Big Hat Pirates is on the show today.  Sure, we're talking about pirate hats.  Super bad ass custom pirate hats at that.  But we're also talking about creativity (of a form that I'm terrible at) and when and how an artist has to let go of his work and let the consumer do with it what they will.  

This is a really great talk with a talented and forward-thinking artisan.  

Plus comedy from Danny Minch and a song called "Devil's Advocate" from Silvertung

Laura Nelson's project is called The Whydah Pirates Speak.  The Whydah has certainly been talked about from lots of different angles.  So to add something new to the discussion, Laura went after the stories of the lesser players, the crew members, the characters you don't normally hear about.  

Really good talk.  We get into some of those stories and talk about the craft of writing the side stories around the big story.
