Under the Crossbones The Pirate Podcast

James Masciarelli is a former tech headhunter and nonfiction writer who's just released his first fiction novel, "Beyond Beauport" about a woman who discovers links to pirates in her family tree and goes hunting for a new lease on life because of it.

James tells us how he forged his own new lease on life and what he learned from the many high end CEOs in his previous work. And we go deep into his writing and research process on all the wonderful locations in his new book.

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.
