I just love having deep conversations with fans of Our Flag and talking with them in-depth about the aspect of the show they connected with. Our guest this week is Tanya Dickson (https://www.instagram.com/tanyadickson.ig/), an actor and writer, who is absolutely obsessed with Blackbeard — played by Taika Waititi. Of course, we cover the usual fandom news and updates but we also chat about what it is that makes certain people drawn to Blackbeard as a character. I think you’ll find our conversation fascinating. Have a listen!
