Michael LoPresti of Rogues Armada
Michael LoPresti is one of the earliest Jack Sparrow impersonators and coordinator of the Rogues Armada, a worldwide consortium of pirate entertainers.

We dig into how the group came together and what everyone gets out of it.  And we dive into the Jack Sparrow biz and how it’s changed since he got into it.  And, of course, some good hilarious  “road stories”. 🙂

TF Wright of The Pirate's Fate
T.F. Wright, with is co-creator Volkenfox, is the author of a visual novel called The Pirate’s Fate.  It’s a “Choose Your Own Adventure” style pirate book for the modern age.

In our talk we discuss his strategies for keeping track of so many story lines at once, the changing nature of villains and how to keep them interesting, and why some people might be uncomfortable with anthropomorphised animals even though Disney and Warner Brothers have been using them for decades.

James Masciarelli
James Masciarelli is a former tech headhunter and nonfiction writer who’s just released his first fiction novel, “Beyond Beauport” about a woman who discovers links to pirates in her family tree and goes hunting for a new lease on life because of it.

James tells us how he forged his own new lease on life and what he learned from the many high end CEOs in his previous work.  And we go deep into his writing and research process on all the wonderful locations in his new book.
