Original Pirate Material
You have to hear it to believe it...
Original Pirate Material is a 9-part podcast series. Recorded from three different countries over the course of a couple of years, OPM gives an intimate insight into the mind of Captain Tonz. Recounting his days as a Peiran Pirate, he reflects on a life spent in the grey area of maritime law.
As he reveals definitive moments on the high seas, he also shares his philosophical approach to piracy, inspired by the marauding sailors of Ancient Greece and a unique perspective on our relationship with the sea. Each episode sees Derren (a trained journalist) and James (a pirate enthusiast) probe Tonz to separate the romantic from the real; fact from swashbuckling fiction.

Episode 9 – A Life at Sea
“I would like to get the facts out there, that pirates are really an important category of humanity.”
In this final episode of Original Pirate Material, Captain Tonz reminds us why it’s crucial to illuminate and discuss the history of pirates and clues us into the ways that pirates still operate today. Finally, he reflects on his deep connection to the 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.
