In this episode I got to talk to Brandon F. Brandon makes historical Youtube videos that have received millions of views! Several of them also have nautical themes and so we discuss that as well as possible future maritime-related videos. We also go on a few funny historical rants, and just in general have a great conversation! He absolutely did not have to do this interview (especially as he was just a few hours from catching a plane to England and had not yet packed!) but he did so and for that I am very thankful.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
