I’m so excited to bring you this show today! Robert Kurson is the author of “Pirate Hunters” a great book about John Chatterton and John Mattera finding a real pirate ship wreck – The Golden Fleece. His latest book, “Rocket Men” is about the Apollo 8 mission, NASA’s first manned space flight to orbit the moon in 1968.
I’ve been trying to get Robert on the show for a couple years now and we finally made it happen. We dig into all his writings about adventurers on water and in space and how he manages to make the stories feel so completely personal.
And we do a shorty talk with Rich Manic aka Captain Festus McBoyle about their new music video and the new type of show they’re doing.
Read Robert’s early piece, My Favorite Teacher as talked about during the interview. (Major trigger warning)
Listen to my talks with John Chatterton, the subject of ‘Pirate Hunters’ in ep. 27 and ep. 28.
