Capt James Hawk runs the Krewe of the Scarlett Fortuna, a nonprofit organization to promote reading among children. From book fairs and giveaways to presentations about pirates stories, these guys are using the power of pirates to get kids engaged in the world of books.

In this episode:

Why reading is his pet cause
The advice him mom gave him that has served him well his whole life
Why switching from Medieval to pirates was literally cooler
A story about a 4-year old that is way more together than any of us.

Plus, a gig that was like doing two shows at once and the death of Marcus Aurelius and the downfall of the Roman Empire.

Jess Dobie is co-owner of Switch Sails in Brisbane, Australia. They specialize in sails for yachts and racing ships. They’ve also made sails for some of your favorite pirate films.

We’ll find out about the cutting edge in modern sail-making and the growing number of people retiring on the sea instead of in a Winnebago.

We’ll also catch up with author Jenai Marek (previously heard in ep 128) about her new book and her efforts to bring a pirate festival to Galveston, TX.

You can sign Jenai’s Galveston pirate fest petition here.
