Happy holidays! I'm taking the week off to eat too much and visit with friends and family.

Enjoy this replay of our most popular episode of 2017 with Chris Bowes of Alestorm!

We'll be back January 2nd with an all new show featuring Marcus Rediker, author of "Villains of All Nations".

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.
