Lou Hernandez aka Cutthroat Cortez of Pirates Plunder is living an enviable life. He's a pirate because it's fun and because he wants to. And he's using his pirate character to put good things in the world and help others. And for my final show as host, Lou is the perfect guest. He's exactly the kind of person that makes the pirate community great. Creative, supportive, and genuine.

In this episode:

• How Lou went from being a cowboy to a pirate
• Their mission to educate and entertain kids, especially sick children
• How he's building his crew out to be an event planning company by saying yes and figuring out how to do it

Starting next week Nick Hoffman will be taking over the show. You may still hear from me periodically when any of my new projects intersect with pirate culture. It's been my privilege to create this show for you for the last 4 years and I hope you'll come along on the ride to my further adventures.

Thank you so much for spending your time with me each week and introducing me to so many great people along the way.

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.
