Rich Cohen is the author of "The Last Pirate of New York" - A ghost ship, a killer, and the birth of a gangster nation.  Along with a ton of other really interesting books.  Rich and I cover a lot of ground in this talk and I think you'll really enjoy it.

In this episode:

  • Who was the last pirate of New York?
  • The running themes that unite all of Rich's books
  • The Rolling Stones, Chess Records, Pirates of the Caribbean, sugar substitutes, and a whole lot more.

Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture.  Your host Phil Johnson (comedian, musician, and pirate geek) interviews the most interesting people in the pirate subculture: Actors, Authors, Historians, Musicians, Artists, Festival Founders, Clothing and Prop Designers, Treasure Hunters, Archaeologists, and more.
