Javier Dominguez of Big Hat Pirates is on the show today. Sure, we’re talking about pirate hats. Super bad ass custom pirate hats at that. But we’re also talking about creativity (of a form that I’m terrible at) and when and how an artist has to let go of his work and let the consumer do with it what they will.

This is a really great talk with a talented and forward-thinking artisan. I’ve included a few pics of Javier’s hats below, but make sure to head over to their Facebook page to see more. And definitely find them at your favorite Pirate Fest or Ren Faire.

Plus comedy from Danny Minch and a song called “Devil’s Advocate” from Silvertung. Be sure to pick up Silvertung’s album with the link below and support UTC!

It’s Wonky Sound Day on UTC! I’m on the road and forgot to pack my podcasting mic and there’s a weird bumpy knocky sound during the interview. The sound gods did not smile upon us this week. Better next time. I promise.

But that doesn’t mean it’s not a great episode! My guest is Shayna Vest from DressLikeAPirate.com and she is quite the character. We’ll talk a bit about pirates invading the Ren Faire scene and what it took to get a business selling pirate clothes up and running in the wild west days of the internet.

And of course, if need to dress like a pirate, you know where to go… She’s got great stuff that’s way better than the Spirit store but not the stuff that will make you break your piggy bank.

Mucho fun-o… Plus epic comedy from Chad Opitz and a great tune called “Appalachian Bound” by Time Sawyer.

Tiger Lee is quite the self-made man. We’ll journey from his origins as a fairy photographer to the depths of the Caribbean and into Florida where he found his calling in creating authentic pirate clothing and weaponry.

Lots of detailed discussion on what is and isn’t authentic pirate clothing. So plenty for you costuming geeks out there. Plus stuff about the old timey picture studio business that I never knew about.

Also on the show today, comedy from Phil Johnson (that’s me!) and music from Ye Banished Privateers.
The bit from me is from 2008 and it was a little painful listening back to it. I should probably write some new pirate material. 🙂

As I mentioned during the show, a few folks have contacted me about supporting the show financially. So I’ve put up a few options here. You can donate (whatever amount you’d like), click the Amazon banners (no cost to you), or get some exposure for your business by being a sponsor (dirt cheap right now).
