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"!

Joe Neate and Mike Chapman of Rare Games sit down with us to talk about their new pirate game Sea of Thieves. How's it different from the average pirate video game? What's gone into make this game both exciting and historically interesting? And when I ask them what they haven't been able to make a game do yet, you'll be surprised at the answer.
Plus comedy from Jill Maragos and "Puppy Song" by Bonecage.

Craig Lutke is the leader and multi-instrumentalist of The Bilge Pumps, a pirate fest favorite. We'll get into the accidental way they started the group, where the name came from, and their process for including comedy in their arrangements.
This talk is all about pirates, music, and comedy. I may as well have been interviewing myself. ;)
Plus comedy from Travis Nelson and two(!) songs from The Bilge Pumps - "Pirating The Seas" and "The Dark Lady."
Get some Bilge Pumps music!

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

This week's guest is author Darren Simon who's written a great book called "The Dangerous Legacy". If you like your pirate fiction laced with real historical characters and a dose of the supernatural, you'll dig this one.
This is a great talk about the craft of writing (especially how he and I approach it very differently). Plus you'll find out all the stuff in Darren's own past that made it into the book.
Plus comedy from Chris Storin and music from The Liberal Rednecks
