ERRATA: Alasdair mentions that the magazine 'Soldier of Fortune' Magazine is no longer published - this is incorrect. This is not true - the final paper issue was published in April 2016, though it is still published online today.

Alasdair and Austin don eyepatches and parrots to talk about piracy and its effect on the conduct and restrictions of naval warfare. This is a double episode!
