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.

Captain Jay Tucci is a longtime pirate entertainer as part of the Northeast Buccaneers and the Rogues Armada. And he’s the author of a new children’s book called Captain Jay and the Misfit Crew.

We dig into Jay’s pirate history, how he deals with his own “misfit-ness”, dealing with bullying, and the children’s book publishing biz. Lots of good stuff in here.

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.

Author ET Fox

Ed “ET” Fox is a respected author who’s combined his love of research and pirates into a half dozen fantastic pirate history books. He’s also been able to bust some of the myths that you and I have been believing about pirates for years. Some really interesting stuff in this interview.

When you look for his books, be sure to look for ET Fox as searches for Ed Fox will lead you to a way different kind of book that has nothing to do with pirates and could get you called into the HR office.

Plus comedy from Dash Kwiatkowski and the song “Johnny Jump Up” by The Bilge Pumps.
