Rusty Cutlass

With their genesis at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando, FL, Rusty Cutlass has turned into one of the premiere pirate bands on the Southeast pirate fest scene.

First we talk with Mark Miller aka Nasty Nate about his career with Disney, how Rusty Cutlass got started, pirate jokes, and concertinas.

Then we’ll pop over to one of the resorts and catch Ken Thiboult (Pepe Duval) and Dean Rasik (Dirty John Dirk) between sets. They tell us how they got involved with Disney, how the group chooses material, and about Ken’s practical jokes.

Colin Woodard author of The Republic of Pirates

Colin Woodard is the author of The Republic of Pirates. Since it was published it’s become one of the most respected scholarly works on the Golden Age of Pirates. His thoroughly researched book is the influence behind the NBC TV show “Crossbones” and the video game “Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag”

In our talk, Colin digs into his motivations for writing the book and how technology made it possible for him to do research that wasn’t available before.

We also chat about how it connects to his other books on American culture and how those Golden Age pirates influenced America.

Bullet Valmont of The Wench Whisperer Bullet Valmont has been pirating around Hollywood for a long time. You might know him as the advice columnist behind The Wench Whisperer.

We talk about that as well as his new pirate performance group Imagine Pirates. And we delve into his journey as an actor in Hollywood from the lows of being homeless and still trying to make the audition to the highs of working with Jim Carrey.

We recorded this talk in person on the back patio of an old haunted bar in Hollywood. And of course they started playing music. So the background is a little noisy, but you’ll be able to hear us fine.
