06/20/17 • 43 min
Del Merritt is the leaders of The Sea Dogs. Being that New Jersey isn't a hotbed of pirate culture, Del and his folks have become the pirates on call for whatever needs pirating.
Music, living history, re-enacting, history education... Del likes to keep his calendar full! We'll dig into the full history of the group the challenges of making it work.
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.

095 Steve Sanders of Seadog Slam
Poets have existed for centuries. So who's to say there weren't a few among the pirates as well? There certainly are now. Steve Sanders aka Blackbead and his group Seadog Slam are taking pirate poetry to Pirate Fests, Ren Faires, and Steampunk Fests. This is one of those topics I never figured we'd be talking about on this show, but Steve does a great job explaining the magic of poetry. He takes us through his journey to becoming a pirate poet. And yep, he recites a really great one for us too.
If you're not a poetry person, you may be tempted to skip this episode. But I think you'll really dig it if you give it a listen.

097 Author Ozgur K Sahin
Ozgur K Sahin is the author of "The Wrath of Brotherhood", the first book in the Brethren of the Spanish Main series. And he's also a really interesting dude.
In this episode we talk pirates (duh), astrophysics, meditation, and big questions about discovery. You'll find that "discovery" is a big theme in both Ozgur's books and our discussion. Fun, deep stuff!
