Michael Scott Moore of The Desert and The Sea
Michael Scott Moore was held captive by Somali pirates for 977 days.  His new book, The Desert and The Sea, tells the story of what that was like.

In our talk we dig into what he did to keep his mental state stable through the ordeal, what it was like coming back, and what the aftermath of that type of experience is.

Joshua London Victory In Tripoli
We’re headed for North Africa this week to talk Barbary Pirates with Joshua London, author of Victory In Tripoli.

He’ll take us through the basic timeline of these events that happened soon after the American Revolution and how the Barbary pirates forced America’s hand into creating a navy.

We’ll also talk about the various motivations behind writing a book on this subject, dealing with people reading stuff into it that may or may not be there… And kosher wine.  It all fits together.

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.
