Zachary Stocks of the Lady Washington

Zachary Stocks is the Program Development Officer for Grays Harbor Historical Seaport, home to the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain.  And my co-host this week, Cheryl Jones, spent a week volunteering on the Lady Washington 15 years ago.  So we get some good “then and now” storytelling about the ship.

In this episode:

  • The story of the original Lady Washington as the first merchant ship on America’s west coast, traveling between the US and Asia.
  • Where you’ve see the Lady Washington on TV and in movies.
  • How you can get involved as a short or long term volunteer and the training they provide.
  • What the heck are “funnies”?

Graeme Buckie aka The BuccaneerGraeme Bucky aka The Buccaneer is an indie wrestler from Australia.  Nick Hoffman sits in with me today and Graeme teaches us about the unique storytelling vehicle that is wrestling.

In this episode:

  • Which countries have big wrestling cultures (a big surprise in here) and how a wrestler moves up the ranks
  • How Graeme connected with his tag team partner and how they devise storylines
  • The training that goes into learning to wrestle and how they improvise in happens in the ring
  • The delicate balance between being a good wrestler and “building a brand”

 

Check out The Buccaneer and Cesar vs. VIP in a Rum on a Pole match. The winner is the team who can retrieve the bottle of rum that hangs above the ring on the top of a pole.
