Ahoy, me hearties! William Swallow became the pirate captain of the convict ship Cyprus after he seized the vessel in Tasmania in 1829. From there, it was a case of ‘Bring me that horizon!', with Swallow and his crew of motley misfits setting sail for freedom on the far side of the world. Author Ally Burnham joins us to explain how she researched this swashbuckling true story for Swallow, the first novel in an epic trilogy that will thrill fans of Master and Commander. It's an amazing tale of a fast-talking escape artist, of high stakes on the high seas, and of boldness and tenderness in an era of unspeakable brutality. Plus: Ally has some top tips on how to swear like a pirate!

Hello my loyal listening populous, welcome to another installment by the honorable bro. This is an installment based around my fancy carrying case that holds my favorite records. All genres, obviously. Lightnin' Hopkins, Hendrix, Frank Ocean, Jai Paul, Fred Again and more of the usual suspects are featured in this episode with no surprise. I have recently went back and watched some really good movies lately. My parents were in town and while they were here we consumed Kicking and Screaming (RIP Robert Duvall), Beverly Hills Ninja and Sandlot. All of which hold their comedic value til this day. After my parents left, in my depression I watched the first three Pirates of the Caribbean flicks and I have to say.. Those surprisingly surpassed my expectations and I'm glad that I revisited them. I always liked the Davy Jones character and I totally crush it as Jack Sparrow for Halloween. In separate news, I CRUUUUSHED it with Pokemon cards this weekend. Picking up vintage Japanese copies of both Dark Charizard and Sabrina's Gengar. Woooooow. WHOOOOO needs this beating. Thank you for being here. Yuuuurp.Your Host with the Most,DJ Witwickatron

Hoy pasa algo en 'La Pija y la Quinqui' que no nos sucede a menudo: viene alguien que aún no ha venido. Gracias, Ester.

El periodista Daniel Gascón expone como portavoz de la Asociación de Parodistas que cuestiones como las comparación de Tellado de Zapatero con Jack Sparrow ejercen una competencia desleal contra este organismo.

#401 - Condescending voices. It was a good day. R strength. Jack Sparrow tough time. What do men really want?

Sora, Donald, and Goofy are back in the Caribbean and simply along for the ride. Jack Sparrow died, everyone has a pirate-sona, and now there's a weird squid guy.

Happy Friday! Today we are talking about the most successful pirate in history, and I don't mean Jack Sparrow or Blackbeard - I'm talking about Ching Shih, the former sex worker turned pirate queen who controlled the South China Sea to such an extent the Qing dynasty paid her to retire! As an Asian woman she defies all the pirate stereotypes toted by historians and western sources alike, and had one hell of a career both on the sea and land!If you're wanting more Hot History you can follow along on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and of course, right here!Til next week, Ainslie x

La coupe carrée d'Amélie Poulain ? C'est lui. Les dreadlocks de Johnny Depp dans Pirates des Caraïbes ? C'est lui. Huit Femmes de François Ozon ? C'est lui. Vanessa Paradis dans La Fille sur le pont ? C'est encore lui.La liste est longue car John Nollet est tout simplement l'une des références mondiales de la coiffure. En préparant cet épisode, je voulais comprendre le moment de bascule : celui qui lui a ouvert les portes du cinéma et de la mode. Je voulais percer le secret d'une réussite aussi belle que singulière : celle d'un coiffeur créateur qui a fait le choix de rester artisan du cheveu.Mais comme dans tous mes meilleurs épisodes, j'ai retenu quelque chose que je n'étais pas venue chercher.Une attention (on pourrait presque dire une obsession) du détail, à chaque instant. J'ai eu la chance de passer sous ses ciseaux, et j'ai été frappée de voir à quel point chaque courbe, chaque pointe, chaque boucle est pensée… sans jamais se faire remarquer. Quand je lui ai dit que personne ne réalisait la précision de son travail, il m'a répondu avec une justesse désarmante : "Mais est-ce que ce n'est pas justement ça qui compte ?"En bonus pour vous : de précieux conseils pour entretenir votre crinière (pour vous aussi messieurs) ; Comment trouver 'sa' coupe ? Faut-il assumer le cheveu blanc, quel rythme de lavage adopter… et bien d'autres choses encore.Mais je ne vous en dis pas plus et laisse place à ma conversation avec John Nollet.

From his admiration for film composer Hans Zimmer to the influence of the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack on his early love of cinema, Enzo explains how powerful scores shape emotion, tension, and character on screen. The discussion moves through several themes, including:How film soundtracks help actors connect with the emotional rhythm of a sceneThe role of music in Bollywood productions and why those films feel so distinctiveEnzo's disciplined approach to acting, including detailed script preparation and performance notesHis experience playing a darker character in the vertical series Alpha Stepbrothers Bite MeWhy breaking into acting often depends as much on business skills and persistence as talentEnzo also reflects on the moment he realised acting was the path he wanted to pursue, inspired by a childhood fascination with pirates and the cinematic world of Pirates of the Caribbean. The conversation even touches on dream roles, from portraying Jack Sparrow's son to potentially playing a young Elvis.Along the way, Graham and Enzo explore the realities of building a career in film, the importance of audience reaction for performers, and how music quietly underpins some of cinema's most powerful moments.If you enjoy conversations about film, performance, and the creative forces behind storytelling, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how music and acting intersect.Follow Enzo's journey on Instagram and keep an eye on his growing film career, with his latest project already surpassing 2.6 million views.

De boys zijn weer terug voor een bomvolle aflevering, want Nerd Culture #245 zit ramvol series, films, trailers en industrie-praat waar je licht nerveus van wordt (op een goede manier). Van prestige-tv en arthouse tot keiharde franchise-moves, bizarre trailers en streamingmachtsverschuivingen: dit is weer zo'n aflevering waarin alles samenkomt.We blikken terug op wat we hebben gekeken, duiken in titels als Wonder Man, Fallout, Past Lives en The Matrix, en schakelen daarna moeiteloos door naar het grote nieuws: van Baldur's Gate op HBO en een mogelijke Metroid-film tot Pirates of the Caribbean die opnieuw de zee op wil. Verwacht meningen, context, zijpaden en het onvermijdelijke gekibbel.Pirates of the Caribbean 6 gaat een soft-reboot wordenDeze week was er nieuws over Pirates of the Caribbean 6, een franchise die na jaren van twijfel, mislukte plannen en creatieve stilstand eindelijk weer tekenen van leven vertoont. Disney lijkt serieus te willen resetten, met een nieuwe creatieve koers die het oude gevoel respecteert maar niet blijft hangen in nostalgie. We bespreken de mogelijke focus op een nieuwe generatie piraten, de opvallende betrokkenheid van 1917-schrijver Krysty Wilson-Cairns, de geruchten rond een “punkrock”-achtige nieuwe hoofdrol en de vraag die boven alles hangt: is er nog een plek voor Jack Sparrow, en zo ja, in welke vorm? Kortom: kan Pirates zichzelf opnieuw uitvinden zonder zijn ziel te verliezen?Baldur's Gate krijgt zijn eigen Dungeons and Dragons TV showWe hebben goed nieuws voor de DnD fans: Baldur's Gate krijgt een HBO-serie, onder leiding van Craig Mazin, de man achter Chernobyl en The Last of Us. En dit wordt geen hervertelling, maar een directe voortzetting van het verhaal van Baldur's Gate 3. We bespreken waarom dit een fundamenteel andere aanpak is dan bij eerdere game-adaptaties, hoe Mazins obsessieve liefde voor Dungeons & Dragons en BG3 hier een enorme rol speelt, en waarom HBO hiermee ineens een serieuze fantasy-titel in handen heeft die niet leunt op bestaande filmfranchises. Oude én nieuwe personages, politieke nasleep, morele consequenties en een wereld die groot genoeg is om jarenlang verhalen te dragen: dit zou wel eens de blauwdruk kunnen worden voor hoe game-verhalen voortaan naar tv worden vertaald.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #24500:00:40 Gamekings 25 jaar feest volledig uitverkocht00:01:52 Wat hebben we gekeken gelezen en geluisterd00:05:55 Marvel Wonder Man review00:10:44 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms HBO preview00:16:23 The Matrix klassieker bespreking00:22:10 Past Lives film review00:25:38 Fallout Season 2 verwachtingen00:31:00 Michael trailer reactie00:33:10 Wonder Man mogelijk seizoen 2 Marvel Studios00:35:20 YouTube groter dan Netflix in streaming00:37:00 Komt er een live-action TMNT film00:40:38 Baldur's Gate krijgt HBO tv-serie00:44:19 Jurassic Park Super Bowl commercial00:48:00 Exit 8 trailer00:50:30 Henry Cavill eerste blik als Highlander00:51:12 Henry Cavill en Warhammer 40K project00:53:35 Pirates of the Caribbean reboot details00:58:08 Nintendo werkt aan Metroid film01:03:55 Texas Chainsaw Massacre tv-serie A2401:06:00 Neighbors trailer01:08:00 Kijk-tip Huey The Empire Strikes Door01:09:00 Kijk-tip Koos

J.B. and Eddie set sail to the edge of the world with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. This week, they tackle the most ambitious entry in the franchise — from the wild mythology and overstuffed plot to Davy Jones, the Pirate Lords, and Jack Sparrow at his most unhinged. The conversation digs into whether this epic conclusion earns its runtime, how it caps off the original trilogy, and why At World's End feels both massive and messy in equal measure. Along the way, they reflect on Disney's peak blockbuster era, the highs and lows of the Pirates franchise, and where this film ultimately lands in the series.

Join us as we talk about a movie about a ride! Sounds strange right? But its Disney so you know its gonna be something worth watching. Here it is, the movie that would spawn 4 sequels and pour gasoline on the fire that is pirate obsession, the movie that would be the eye liner of men all over the world! Does it hold up? Or is it time for Jack Sparrow to walk the plank once and for all? Listen and find out!

Send us a textWhat happens when you swap the cola in a Long Island for Sprite, cranberry, cinnamon, and a kiss of citrus—and then hand New Year's resolutions to Disney legends? We kick off with a winter spiced Long Island inspired by Jollywood Nights, breaking down the build, the balance, and the subtle orange-cranberry glow that makes this riff dangerously sippable. Think classic structure, brighter finish, and a candied orange wheel that smells like December.With glasses clinking, we pivot into a resolution game that's equal parts nostalgia and honesty. Donald promises calm and barely survives the countdown. Ariel tackles her treasure trove with help. Belle tries fewer pages, more people. Cinderella sets her own curfew. Tiana wrestles with “healthy” in the land of gumbo. We go deeper than punchlines, exploring why some characters are primed to evolve and why others are hilariously doomed by design. Captain Hook finds peace and opens an island bar. Jack Sparrow plans to plan, then doesn't. Buzz meets gravity. Pumba embraces accountability. Scar swears off dramatic monologues—and immediately proves our point.Along the way, we rank recent holiday pours, daydream about park trips, and admit we need to level up our promos and episode lists. It's playful, a little dark around the edges, and surprisingly reflective about habit change, identity, and the rituals that help us try again. If you love Disney lore, themed cocktails, and character-driven what-ifs, you'll feel right at home.Pour the recipe, press play, and tell us which character would actually keep a resolution this year. If you enjoyed the ride, subscribe, leave a rating, and share this episode with a Disney friend who needs a laugh and a holiday sip. Cheers!

With regular host Scott Hennen sidelined by a "D.C. bug," Kevin Flynn and Jay Thomas step into the cockpit for a high-octane Friday edition of What's On Your Mind. The show serves as a blunt-force trauma reality check on the state of Minnesota, diving deep into reports of a staggering $10 billion to $18 billion "industrial-scale" fraud scandal involving Medicaid and Somali clan networks. Bill Glahn from the Center of the American Experiment joins the fray to break down how the "fraud father" administration in St. Paul allegedly looked the other way while taxpayer dollars fueled overseas investments and local grifts. The conversation isn't all corruption and chaos, however. The hosts explore the mind-blowing future of "clean energy" with an 8-year Navy nuclear submarine veteran who explains why minivan-sized fusion reactors are about to change the world. From the hilarious absurdity of "pirate-affirming healthcare" to the local "Fill the Boot" drive for homeless kids, this episode balances righteous indignation with small-town heart and a heavy dose of Brian Setzer holiday swing. Standout Moments [00:02] The Vehicle Value Scam Jay Thomas vents about the "fraud fathers" in Minnesota over-valuing his $3,500 rust-bucket truck at $35,000 on tax statements to juice state coffers. [00:06] Saving Lives with Mango Nicotine Jay shares a hilarious "life-saving" story about how F5 Project founder Adam Martin rescued him from a nicotine fit during a grueling Minneapolis airport layover with a well-timed mango pouch. [00:13] Hakeem's Titanic Tantrum The hosts tear into Hakeem Jeffries' viral rant against renaming the Kennedy Center after Donald Trump, mocking his "the ship be sinking" Ebonics and lack of legislative accomplishments. [00:15] The Somali Clan Connection Bill Glahn explains the complex "clan system" imported from East Africa that reportedly specializes in specific types of Medicaid fraud, leading to a massive federal "strike force" investigation in Minnesota. [00:18] Nuclear Power in a Semi-Truck Trevor, a former Navy nuke, explains why the future of energy isn't wind or solar, but small modular reactors that produce zero waste and can be hauled on the back of a 53-foot trailer. [00:23] The Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul Verdict The guys preview the big Netflix fight, praying that Joshua—a "beast" of a heavyweight—finally puts an end to the "Jake Paul theater show." [00:30] Pirate-Affirming Healthcare A biting satire on gender-affirming care for children: If a 10-year-old thinks he's Jack Sparrow, do we "believing him" mean cutting off…

Father Nathan Carr, Headmaster of The Academy and often dubbed “the Jack Sparrow of classical education,” joins Christopher Perrin to recount his unexpected path into classical Christian school leadership—and the hard-won lessons of building a flourishing school culture over two decades. Their conversation draws on James K. A. Smith's Desiring the Kingdom to argue that “liturgies” (in church and in culture) quietly train our loves and longings. Carr connects that insight to his own work, The Festive School, where he explores how a school's calendar, habits, and celebrations can become formative—not merely decorative. He also points listeners to his Student Prayer Book as a practical companion for cultivating daily, embodied prayer in the life of a classroom. From The Book of Common Prayer and the daily offices to monastic rhythms like Matins and Compline, he frames education as formation through repeated, prayerful practice. Along the way, they address objections to “rote” ritual, suggesting that repetition can become spiritually alive and deeply consoling over time. The episode closes with concrete snapshots of festivity at The Academy: Lessons & Carols, Stations of the Cross, and campus-wide celebrations of Incarnation and Resurrection. Father Nathan Carr also has a forthcoming course on ClassicalU.com that will release in the early Spring of 2026.
