Todd Willis of The Loose Cannon Company

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

 

Todd Willis grew up as a pirate.  Or at least that's what his mom told him.  And he took it to heart.  Now he's a re-enactor and leader of the popular east coast pirate entertainment group The Loose Cannon Company.

We talk about how he got there, how he wrangles a disparate group of pirates into a cohesive whole, and how to raise your kids as responsible pirates when you're dressing them up as criminals.

Quest For Blackbeard author Baylus Brooks

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

Baylus Brooks has done a lot of new research into the life and career of Edward "Blackbeard" Teach and presents it in his new book "Quest For Blackbeard".  

As history's most famous pirate, Blackbeard has led many to dig into his life for details of his exploits.  Was he a bloodthirsty pirate or a successful businessman?  Outlaw or backed by land-based merchants?  

All that and more apparently.  And Baylus Brooks has some interesting information he's gleaned from his research.

Dan Stevens is the founder of Pirata Clothing and Pirata Couture.  They specialize in modern clothing that signals the pirate in all of us.  And even some lingerie if that's your jam.
