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.
