Shanna Franklin of Tea and Strumpets
Shanna Lovette is the leader and songwriter of Tea and Strumpets. They’re a relatively new group, but rising fast on the Pirate and Ren Faire scenes.

Somewhere between vocal group and musical theater, they’ve got a load of great original bawdy songs and choreography. We dig into why Shanna got the group together and how demand for their show has picked up.

Heads up… This episode, by nature, has a little bawdy talk in it. If you’ve got kids with you, maybe listen later. Or be prepared to discuss. 🙂

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.

Robert Kurson author of Pirate Hunters
I’m so excited to bring you this show today! Robert Kurson is the author of “Pirate Hunters” a great book about John Chatterton and John Mattera finding a real pirate ship wreck – The Golden Fleece. His latest book, “Rocket Men” is about the Apollo 8 mission, NASA’s first manned space flight to orbit the moon in 1968.

I’ve been trying to get Robert on the show for a couple years now and we finally made it happen. We dig into all his writings about adventurers on water and in space and how he manages to make the stories feel so completely personal.

And we do a shorty talk with Rich Manic aka Captain Festus McBoyle about their new music video and the new type of show they’re doing.

Read Robert’s early piece, My Favorite Teacher as talked about during the interview. (Major trigger warning)

Listen to my talks with John Chatterton, the subject of ‘Pirate Hunters’ in ep. 27 and ep. 28.
