What would you do in the middle of a storm? If you’re Captain Tonz, the real-life pirate behind Original Pirate Material, you might take a moment to light up a cigarette and take it all in.

Episode two picks up with Tonz on his way from Hull to Jeddah, via a humber barge. We’ll hear how he drew upon his pirate teachings to find new and unprecedented approaches to navigating a boat, and how he dealt with being arrested in Gibraltar.

Tonz’s incredible journey took him from Hertfordshire to the high seas, and over the course of nine episodes, you’ll hear it all. Tonz recounts unbelievable, unforgettable stories about near-death scrapes and international escapades. Podcast hosts (and non-pirates) Derren and James listen rapt, asking the questions we’re all dying to know about how the reality of being a pirate matches up to our culture’s mythos.
