You might think of piracy as being all swashbuckling and adventure, but in the eyes of real-life pirate Captain Tonz, the most important person on a pirate ship is the cook.

In episode 7, you’ll find out why “the cook won most of the battles”, and many more tidbits about the day-to-day life of a pirate at sea.

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.
