Black Sails podcast

So not only there's a Black Sails fancast, but it's still active: they published an interview with Toby Schmitz (Jack Rackham, duh) and Craig Jackson (Featherstone) just last week!

Fathoms Deep: A Black Sails Podcast
@BlackSailsCast

76 episodes... As if I didn't have many hundreds in my podcast queue already!

Schmitz is so fantastic in the series... Right now I'm in the love triangle (?) episodes with Anne and Max and almost all of the play is done through his face... It's cool to see him as a non-muscular, not-very-masculine pirate, trying to make it on his wits alone. I mean he's not unlike John Silver that way, but Silver is still just an opportunistic, accidental pirate at that point in the series, while Rackham is more ambitious, has fallen from a higher position, and has fully embraced the pirate life already.

I've downloaded Hornblower as a next series to watch, because old school maritime warfare. And also Summer of Rockets, because Toby Stephens. No idea when I'll get to any of this...
