It's a big fat juicy one today with two awesome interviews. We'll talk with Mike Tunez of Firelock Games about their new pirate tabletop game Blood and Plunder. And he gives us the lowdown of what it takes to create a game of this magnitude and how they made their Kickstarter for it so outrageously successful.
Then we'll talk with David and Serena Reiland about the 1st annual International Pirate Awards - how it began and how you get to vote for your favorite pirate stuff. And we'll dig into their Renaissance Festival Podcast a bit too.
Plus comedy from Marc Yaffee and music from Meeta Gajjar Parker.

It's Wonky Sound Day on UTC! I'm on the road and forgot to pack my podcasting mic and there's a weird bumpy knocky sound during the interview. The sound gods did not smile upon us this week. Better next time. I promise.
But that doesn't mean it's not a great episode! My guest is Shayna Vest from DressLikeAPirate.com and she is quite the character. We'll talk a bit about pirates invading the Ren Faire scene and what it took to get a business selling pirate clothes up and running in the wild west days of the internet.
Mucho fun-o... Plus epic comedy from Chad Opitz and a great tune called "Appalachian Bound" by Time Sawyer.

Today's guest is very special. Peter T. Leeson is an economist and author of "The Invisible Hand". We're going to dig down into the economics of piracy in the Golden Age and why they had to work so differently from the merchant ships of the time.
What are Jolly Rogers really for (and when)? Did Thomas Jefferson and the founding fathers look to pirates when designing their new democracy. All this and more!
Peter was also the first name on my wishlist of guests when I started this show. I'll explain why.
And a bit about my adventures in Colorado Springs with BBQ and donuts.
Plus comedy from Cory Robinson and a song called "Give Love" from Groovy Judy.
