Michael Noles spent decades as a Senior Creative Director for the Walt Disney Company. And now he creates fantastic pieces of pirate art that capture the unseen moments of shipboard life.
We dig into plenty of good Disney stuff here for fans of that stuff (like me..) And we talk about where Michael's very dense style of art comes from and how he's made art his life since attending Ringling.
And we'll hear the song "Cooper's Rum" from Ye Banished Privateers off their new album First Night Back In Port.

David Magee is the screenwriter of the fantastic movies Finding Neverland and Life of Pi. He's also working on the new Mary Poppins and Narnia films.
I'm a nut for anything Peter Pan/Captain Hook related, so this talk with David is really fun. We get into J.M. Barrie's life during the creation of Peter Pan and how David did his research. We talk plenty of Captain Hook and how he fits into the story of both Peter Pan and Barrie's life.
And we had to talk some Life of Pi too! It was a notoriously difficult book to adapt until David and Ang Lee got their hands on it. We'll dip our toes into Mary Poppins and Narnia too.

Dr E. Lee Spence is an underwater archaeologist and one of the first people to get a degree that work. He's found hundreds of shipwrecks since finding his first in 1959 at age 12 with homegrown dive gear.
His most famous discoveries are the Hunley and the Georgiana. We discuss both. And of course plenty of piratey goodness.
Don't forget to check out the bonus content where we go way off the beaten path and talk about who the real Rhett Butler is from Gone With The Wind.

Richard Zacks is a fascinating author who's work spans centuries but definitely has a soft spot for turning over the rocks of history to see what's crawling around underneath.
We dig into both of his pirate books "Pirate Hunter: The True Story of Captain Kidd" and "The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines, and the Secret Mission of 1805".
Beyond pirates, we'll also talk Mark Twain's connection to standup comedy, little known stories from history, and all sorts of vice and naughtiness.

John Davidson is playing Captain Hook in the touring company of Finding Neverland The Musical. But that's only the latest project. He's survived the jungle of the entertainment business for over 50 years by being able to do lots of different things well and always considering new avenues to pursue.
You may remember him as the host of That's Incredible! on Sunday nights in the early 80's. Or maybe one of his many guest host stints on The Tonight Show during the Johnny Carson years. Or maybe as a host of Hollywood Squares.
Beyond his TV work, he's done loads of work in theater both on and off Broadway. He's also an accomplished musician with a ton of released recordings.
