This week we get super niche and talk about surgery and medical practices among the Golden Age pirates with Mark “Mission” Kehoe. He’s a pirate surgery expert and reenactor with some great stories.
As Mark talks about, we mostly hear about amputations and trepanning. But there’s a lot more to the medical practices of pirates and pirate surgery than you might think. You’ll be amazed at what the #1 killer actually was. Plus he’ll blow quite a few myths out of the water.
I learned a lot during this interview and I’ll be you will too.

Naufragant is a pirate metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina. And this is a fun interview with the band’s singer, Franco Tempesta. We get into the trials they’ve had in naming the band (formerly Skull and Crossbones), why the decided to do a concept album based on Treasure Island, the filming for the video of “The Chest of Billy Bones” (which you can see below), and what it’s like to be “different” in the music business.
