Jeff Hartt and Gertie Stubbs head up the Buccaneers of the Black Fleet in Vancouver, Canada. I was lucky enough to visit with them for a talk while I was up there recently. We dig into their varied projects in camps, family entertainment and more. And they give us a great overview of the pirate scene in Vancouver, the Pacific Northwest, and Canada at large. We recorded in a nice little cafe in New Westminster. So there's loads of... we'll call it "atmosphere"... in the background. You'll feel like you're right there with us! ;) Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture.

So excited to talk with James V Hart this week! James is the screenwriter of one of my all-time favorite movies, "Hook"! He also wrote "Muppet Treasure Island" along with other great films like "Bram Stoker's Dracula", "Contact", and "August Rush". And he was the creator of the show "Crossbones" for NBC a couple years back. We go deep on "Hook" in this talk and get the real background of how the film came to be made. There's a lot of incorrect information on the net and we set straight here. We dig into the difficulty of casting Kermit the Frog in an appropriate role in "Muppet Treasure Island". And we talk about how NBC destroyed "Crossbones" and turned into a totally different show than James sold them. If you'd like to hear the episodes of "Being Blackbeard", the Crossbones podcast I did while the show was airing, there's a link to the zip file in the show notes for Ep 9.

Sean Loughman is a partner and curator at the Pirates Treasure Museum in St Thomas, Virgin Islands. The museum has loads of great shipwreck artifacts, pirate items, and Sean's specialty... coins. Lots and lots of coins. During our talk we dig into lesser known but interesting pirates Jean Hamlin and Bartholomew Sharpe. Sean tells a great story about a controversial scandal around Spanish pieces of eight. And he tells us about the new shipwreck project he's working on that they're pretty darn sure is a legit pirate ship. And after the interview I'll give you an update on Sean's and the museum's current situation post-hurricanes. Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture.

Carl Fismer lives the life of an adventurer. The type of life that they make books, movies and video games about. Affectionately called "Fizz", he's a treasure hunter that has dived some of the world's most famous shipwrecks including the Atocha and the 1715 and 1733 Spanish treasure fleets. And in this talk, tales of peril, dangerous people, and daring escapes. And popcorn. Carl is like an underwater Indiana Jones (thankfully minus Shia Laboeuf.)

We'll dig into how the group got started and the growing pains they face in the pirate community leading up to their final showdown with three hungry TV reality show judges. Then in the aftermath we'll find out what's happening with The Scurvy Crew now as well as Dan's geek rock outfit Sci Fried. And of course we'll hear some music.

Michael Noles spent decades as a Senior Creative Director for the Walt Disney Company. And now he creates fantastic pieces of pirate art that capture the unseen moments of shipboard life. We dig into plenty of good Disney stuff here for fans of that stuff (like me..) And we talk about where Michael's very dense style of art comes from and how he's made art his life since attending Ringling.

David Magee is the screenwriter of the fantastic movies Finding Neverland and Life of Pi. He's also working on the new Mary Poppins and Narnia films. I'm a nut for anything Peter Pan/Captain Hook related, so this talk with David is really fun. We get into J.M. Barrie's life during the creation of Peter Pan and how David did his research. We talk plenty of Captain Hook and how he fits into the story of both Peter Pan and Barrie's life. And we had to talk some Life of Pi too! It was a notoriously difficult book to adapt until David and Ang Lee got their hands on it. We'll dip our toes into Mary Poppins and Narnia too.

Dr E. Lee Spence is an underwater archaeologist and one of the first people to get a degree that work. He's found hundreds of shipwrecks since finding his first in 1959 at age 12 with homegrown dive gear. His most famous discoveries are the Hunley and the Georgiana. We discuss both.

Richard Zacks is a fascinating author who's work spans centuries but definitely has a soft spot for turning over the rocks of history to see what's crawling around underneath. We dig into both of his pirate books "Pirate Hunter: The True Story of Captain Kidd" and "The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines, and the Secret Mission of 1805". Beyond pirates, we'll also talk Mark Twain's connection to standup comedy, little known stories from history, and all sorts of vice and naughtiness.

John Davidson is playing Captain Hook in the touring company of Finding Neverland The Musical. But that's only the latest project. He's survived the jungle of the entertainment business for over 50 years by being able to do lots of different things well and always considering new avenues to pursue. You may remember him as the host of That's Incredible! on Sunday nights in the early 80's. Or maybe one of his many guest host stints on The Tonight Show during the Johnny Carson years. Or maybe as a host of Hollywood Squares. Beyond his TV work, he's done loads of work in theater both on and off Broadway. He's also an accomplished musician with a ton of released recordings.
