Author Ozgur K Sahin

 

Ozgur K Sahin is the author of "The Wrath of Brotherhood", the first book in the Brethren of the Spanish Main series.  And he's also a really interesting dude.

In this episode we talk pirates (duh), astrophysics, meditation, and big questions about discovery.  You'll find that "discovery" is a big theme in both Ozgur's books and our discussion.  Fun, deep stuff!

Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture.  Your host Phil Johnson (comedian, musician, and pirate geek) interviews the most interesting people in the pirate subculture: Actors, Authors, Historians, Musicians, Artists, Festival Founders, Clothing and Prop Designers, Treasure Hunters, Archaeologists, and more.

Steve Blackbead Sanders of Seadog Slam

 

Poets have existed for centuries. So who's to say there weren't a few among the pirates as well?  There certainly are now.  Steve Sanders aka Blackbead and his group Seadog Slam are taking pirate poetry to Pirate Fests, Ren Faires, and Steampunk Fests.

This is one of those topics I never figured we'd be talking about on this show, but Steve does a great job explaining the magic of poetry.  He takes us through his journey to becoming a pirate poet.  And yep, he recites a really great one for us too.

If you're not a poetry person, you may be tempted to skip this episode.  But I think you'll really dig it if you give it a listen.

Author James L. Nelson

James L. Nelson is a very prolific author of both fiction and non-fiction pirate books.  All the way from Vikings through the American Civil War, he's got some unique takes on how pirates affect the world around them.

Not to mention great storytelling and a deep knowledge of sailing ships.  We'll talk about his time on the Golden Hind after leaving the Hollywood grind.  And how his idea of becoming a responsible adult was to become a novelist.

Really fun talk with a guy who obviously loves the sea and the people and things that float on it.
