We're talkin' ship! Ships in bottles that is. Daniel Siemens is a man from the landlocked state of Colorado keeping up the tradition of building ships in bottles. Definitely a niche hobby that deserves more people doing it.
Dan will give us some of the tricks of the trade including his most useful tool, the materials he uses, and of course, how he gets the darn thing in the bottle.
And if you're interested in trying it out yourself, Daniel gives lots of great resources for getting started.

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!

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.

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.

Super excited to bring you Geoff Zanelli today! Geoff wrote the musical score for Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales. He's also credited with "additional music" on the first four POTC films. We talk about what that means (and it means way more than it sounds like).
Plus we'll dig into how he went about capturing some of the POTC1 feel while still bringing his own voice to this new score. And how he got in with Hans Zimmer after his years growing up in Orange County and going to the Berklee School of Music.
If you're new to the show, here are a few other episodes you might like to check out as a starting point.

Laura Sook Duncombe is the author of "Pirate Women: The Princesses, Prostitutes, and Privateers Who Ruled The Seven Seas". It's a fantastic book about female pirates throughout history, both in fact and fiction.
I got a ton of new info in my brain from this book and from my talk with Laura and I know you'll dig it too.
Viking pirate ladies? Check. Some Anne Bonny and Mary Read talk? Check. Cheng I Sao? Check. And tons more you had no idea ever existed.
Cosmopolitan Magazine rated 'Pirate Women' as the #1 book to read in 2017. And you may have heard Laura on This American Life (along with Mark Hanna) in their recent pirate episode.

Scott Graham is the host and resident pirate fan of Pirates 365 on YouTube. In the many dozens of videos he digs deep into every aspect of Pirates of the Caribbean. We're talking rides, movies, toys, video games, the whole shebang.
In our talk we dig into idea generation and how he comes up with some much stuff to post. Not to mention how to get through the days when we're not feeling up to putting something new together. (Hint: You, dear listener, are why we do it...)
And of course, we dork out hard about Disney and Pirates of the Caribbean!

Greg Engel aka Oddly O'Differous is the captain (because he's got the red coat) of Arrr Ink, a pirate comedy troupe that you can see at a variety of pirate fests in the Southeast US.
Like many of the groups we've talked to, Arrr Ink is a family affair with Greg's wife, sister, and brother in law getting in on the action.
We both do comedy, but in drastically different worlds. So we dig into all sorts of good comedy talk about atmosphere, venue, level of appropriateness, etc. You'll hear that he's waaaaay better with kids than I am. :)

Festival des Pirates is an online pirate festival helping to promote various pirate folk the world over. Marck and his team are doing great stuff to bring pirate entertainment to the masses.
You'll enjoy this fun talk. We even devise a plan for a pirate invasion of the world's largest comedy festival. :)

Mike Kelly is the head distiller at Old New Orleans Rum, America's longest running rum company since 1995. Which doesn't seem like that long and Mike will tell us why that is.
We'll get into the process of making rum including how they make their own aging barrels. Mike will also tell us about his rum adventures as a six year old.
And I'll tell you about the strangest compliment I received after a show on my recent Midwest tour.

Allen Balogh is the author of the book "Black Sail 1715" about the wreck and plundering of the 1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet off the coast of Florida. If you're wondering, it's both connected and not connected to the TV show Black Sails. Mostly not. But a little bit yes. :)
Allen gives us a great in depth view of the 1715 fleet's wreck and the pirate plundering that went on around it. Plenty of names you'll recognize as this is smack in the middle of the Golden Age of Piracy.
We'll also learn about the present status of the wreck site and the amazing amount of plunder still down there.
Allen's book is a fantastic historical fiction retelling of the experience that humanizes the dates and places to create a really alive historical experience.

Jim Laird is a name I've been hearing around the pirate community since I started this show. So I'm super happy to have him on the show today!
Jim has survived as Blackbeard longer than Blackbeard himself. And he takes his Blackbeard shows to entertain the kiddies with fun and the adults with history and stories.
We'll dig into how Jim stumbled onto his alter-ego and what it was about donning the rig that made him want to keep doing it.

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.

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.

Morgan Molthrop[ is a former Wall Street investment banker turned New Orleans expert and author. His current book "Jean Lafitte's Pirate Code: 17 Strategies for Acquiring Until Fortune from America's first Laissez Fair Capitalist" is part history book, part business book.
We don't get to talk post-Golden Age stuff much on this show, so we have some fun digging into the War of 1812 and the Battle of New Orleans where Lafitte played a prominent part.
And we'll hear about Morgan's own trek back from the jungles of Wall St to his home in Louisiana and how he created his new life.
Plus comedy from Steve Sabo.

Neil Massey is the owner of Rogue Steel and he builds custom swords and other pointy things for stage and screen use. We'll dig into his process (since I know nothing about making swords) and he'll tell us about he got into fight choreography and bladesmithing.
We have some good laughs along the way and talk about the custom weapon requests he's gotten.

Lee Arenberg has a great career as a character actor in many things. But you'll most know him as Pintel from the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films. Along with Mackenize Crook's Ragetti, they had some of the best comedic moments of the films and could also play creepy when needed. ('Ello poppet...)
Lee tells us how the creepy little girl from The Ring helped get the first POTC film made the right way and other little bits of fun like which cartoon character Johnny Depp added into his Keith Richards to mold the character of Jack Sparrow.
Plus comedy from Stuart Goldsmith.
