Our August episode is a redux of last month’s “Pirate Show”, which many of our listeners missed due to the storms and power outages that plagued the area during the original broadcast. The show includes live music performed by local pirate William Franklin and his band Gunsway. Christie Crandall tells us about local pirate radio stations of the 1970s, and we say goodbye to our old friend Harry Hopkins with a rebroadcast of his interview from 2015. We also have new pieces from Jim Eagleman, Chuck Wills, and Dave Seastrom.
