50 episodes! Whether you've been listening for a year now or you just discovered this show a week ago, thank you for tuning in and listening to me yap with fun pirate folks!  

Wanna help the show get bigger?  Tell your pirate-loving friends about it!

My guests on this episode are Chris Borden and Brittany Roberts,  founders of combat entertainment troupe Under The Black Flag.  We get into a great talk about what goes into fight choreography that you probably don't notice as a audience member.  

I learned a bunch of cool stuff in this interview and you will too!  Unless you already know about it, in which case you'll have a good time yelling at your playback device to disagree with us.  Either way, you win!

Plus comedy from Don Barnhart and music from Sweet HayaH.  Be sure to click those Amazon links below to get their albums.

TS Rhodes is a renaissance woman of the pirate set.  She writes fiction and non-fiction, she tells stories at pirate fests, she reviews Black Sails for a prominent geek website, she knows a ton about pirate clothing, and does a whole presentation on Anne Bonny. 

TS Rhodes lives and breathes pirate culture!  You'll love this talk where we dig into all that stuff and more.

Plus comedy from David Lew and music from Phil Johnson and Roadside Attraction. (Yeah, me.)

Alan Shepard is the main actor and show writer for Hawaii Pirate Ship Adventures.  We'll dig into what it's like to write a show that has to be flexible enough for a new interactive crowd every day.  Not to mention the differences between the kiddie cruises and the drunky byob nighttime adult cruises.

Alan's journey as a trained actor from east coast to far far west is a really great lesson in making decisions in your life to maximize happiness.  Really great talk.

Plus comedy from Johnny Taylor and music from The Bohemian Mechanics.

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.

Plus comedy from Dave Callans and music from Ye Banished Privateers.
