Jim Blackbeard Laird

Jim Laird is a name I’ve been hearing around the pirate community since I started this show. So I’m super happy to have him on the show today!

Jim has survived as Blackbeard longer than Blackbeard himself. And he takes his Blackbeard shows to entertain the kiddies with fun and the adults with history and stories.

We’ll dig into how Jim stumbled onto his alter-ego and what it was about donning the rig that made him want to keep doing it.

Jim also gives us the lowdown on his in-process and very not for kids book about Blackbeard’s early years.

Johnny Ringo of Code Rum

Johnny Ringo is one of the partners in Code Rum. He’ll tell us how he went from working in a rock quarry to doing event planning to being a treasure diver to ending up as a rum maker.

We also get into what it takes to start a rum company and how they’ve made is really successful from the get go. He even tells us one of the secrets that contributes to the flavor of their rum. You’ll never guess it and its my favorite part of the talk. 🙂

And I knew exactly nothing about rum going into this talk, so you’ll have to excuse me if I ask stupid questions. 🙂

I’ll give you a little rundown of my trip to London and what’s coming up next too.

Bruce Mercury and TL Jones of Band of Pirates

Bruce Mercury and TL Jones are creating a universe of pirate goodness under the name Band of Pirates. The full length feature film has led to books which are leading to a TV series, music and more. Ambitious!

We’ll find out how they’re managing all these different projects and how they got their feature film made at a time where that was much tougher to do. And Bruce will tell us a bit about his time on the set of the movie “Hook”, one of my all time favorites! 🙂

I admire anyone that can get a feature film finished. And they were doing it back when it was much harder than it is today. Be sure to dig into all the different aspects of the Band of Pirate world.

Here’s the lyric video for the song too. I’m in love with the “1 2 3 4” joke and absolutely no one will get it. As we comedians say, “That one’s for me.” 🙂
