Lydelle Joubert is from StableSeas.org, an organization that researches and tracks modern piracy around the world.  They act as an information resource for the maritime industry and create programs to combat piracy.

We’ll find out the difference between piracy, terrorism, and robbery. And we’ll dig into where the piracy hot spots are now.  And it’s not Somalia! We’ll also hear about what’s being done to combat piracy in the worst zones. Below is a map of the Gulf of Guinea region mentioned during the show.

Erik Andersson of Stormfrun

This week we trek out to Sweden to talk to Erik Andersson of Stormfrun about spreading pirate fandom in their home country, the decisions about which language to sing in, the Swedish Pirate Armada and more!

Plus, I learn how to pronounce Stormfrun and then proceed to mispronounce it all over the place.

Happy 2019!  For this first episode of the year I thought I’d try a little experimental episode.  We’re going to take a deep dive into 1926’s The Black Pirate starring Douglas Fairbanks.

It’s a great movie all by itself.  But digging into the film’s background of breakthrough Technicolor use, inventive stunts, and movie magic makes the whole experience even more fun.

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.

Need to watch The Black Pirate? Here ya go.

Here’s the Myth Busters episode where they try the Blade Break and a bunch of other piratey things. 

Here’s the Key and Peele sketch where they do the pirate song that looks just like the meal scene in The Black Pirate. 

And here’s Reaching For The Moon, the 1930 Douglas Fairbanks talkie.
