Clay 'Talderoy' Clement is that pirate that all the west coast pirates know, even if they're not sure they've ever met him. The Pirates Charles even wrote a song about him.

He's also the owner of Studio City Tattoo, a pirate themed tattoo shop in Hollywood, and one of the organizers of Pirate Invasion Long Beach.

We'll dig into his pirate background to see how he got his sea legs and his business background as a restaurateur before entering the tattoo and piercing biz.  Plus Monty Python and bananas!

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.

My interview with Spoo Diggity of The Pirates Charles

My interview with the creators of Talk Like A Pirate Day 

Monty Python's Crimson Permanent Assurance

Plus we do a shorty with SR Staley about his new book "Calusa Spirits" and all the cool stuff they're doing around the release on Sept 19th.

Christy Alan is the Entertainment Director (and then some) for the Tybee Island Pirate Festival on Tybee Island, GA.  

We dig into what's happening at this year's fest Oct 4-7, 2018.  And we'll find out about Christy's performance background and how she got involved with the festival.

And there's some really great stuff here too about what an island community has to do to sustain business for most of the year.  It's a ton of work and they pull it off well.
