Episode 1- The Barge Man

Original Pirate Material

Welcome to Original Pirate Material, a new podcast that offers an intimate insight into the mind of real-life pirate Captain Tonz.

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.

In episode one, we learn how it all began for Captain Tonz, an unhappy teenager from Watford who felt an unquenchable draw to the sea.
