Dane Bennett ake Admiral Basi Drake is the lead singer for Pride of Bedlam, this year's International Pirate Awards winners for Favorite Band.

In this great talk we dig into how Dane discovered Ren Faires and the pirate scene after his divorce (and eventually met his current wife), how POB designs their music to stand out in the pirate folk genre, playing a character on stage and dealing with regular folks on stage. Lots of good "inside the brain of performing artists" in this one. And Dane tells us why he thinks pirates have stuck around longer than other characters.

Plus comedy from the Samantha Hale and a great song from Pride of Bedlam called "South Austrailia".
