Eric Nelson and Kirby Heyborne of Pirates of the Great Salt Lake

Eric Nelson is the writer/director of the 2006 film Pirates of the Great Salt Lake. And he brought along Kirby Heyborne aka “Captain Kirk” to tell us the story of how their quirky little pirate film got made back when the whole Pirates of the Caribbean thing was heating up.

It’s a great story about bootstrapping a film and the highs and lows of its release. We’ll also find out how the film ended up and what the guys are doing now.

Pick up a copy of Pirates of the Great Salt Lake for yourself at Amazon and help support the show. 🙂

Marcus Rediker

Marcus Rediker is the author of Villains of All Nations. It’s a fascinating look at the golden age of piracy through the lens of pirates as freedom fighters.

Marcus has written extensively on pirates in this and many of his other books. In this talk we dig into his reasons for doing so. And we go deep into pirate lore to inspect their motivations what the general public thought about them.

We even tackle some of the thornier issues like slavery and the more psychopathic characters that muddied the waters.

Check out all of Marcus Rediker’s books at the links below (which helps support the show too!)
