Ahoy, Matey, and welcome aboard the Curiosity Sloop. Prepare to have your timbers shivered as Commodore Einstone pulls back the thin veil separating kings from pirates, debunks the myth of buried treasure and explains maritime terms from the Golden Age of Piracy. Get familiar with the Gentleman Pirate, the Prince of Pirates, the Robin Hood of the Sea and learn which monarch was so obese they needed to be carried around in a sedan chair, which made popular keeping goldfish as pets, which exhumed their ancestors to shoot at the corpses and whom they all condemned to perform “The Marshall’s Dance”. PLUS, Blackbeard, Black Sam, Black Bart, Jack Sparrow and Captain Kidd’s cat! Batten down the hatches and crack a cask of grog for Pirate/King.

Orville Redenbacher, Mario Puzo and James Brown walk into a podcast…don’t you wish that was the set up to a fantastic joke? It’s not (sorry) but a connection between the three can be found in the year 1969; as well as Ho Chi Minh/Dwight D. Eisenhower, Judy Garland/Sharon Tate, Jack Kerouac/Joseph Kennedy, Sr. and Boris Karloff/Frank Loesser. Join Albort as he gets semi-centennially nostalgic for the Moon Landing, Munchos Potato Crisps, 12¢ stamps, Doom-Buggies, Scooby-Doo, the Dick Sargent/Dick York Bewitched switcheroo and George Lazenby’s singular portrayal of James Bond. It’s a Golden Jubilee.
