Outstanding!
The epic pirate musical you didn’t know you were waiting for! Great writing, the story and dialogue are snappy and compelling, and the vocal performances both spoken and sung are individually and collectively excellent. I love all the background detail, and how even minor characters are distinctive and well-realised. The music too is extraordinary; shifting from big-budget Disney musical to Kurt Weill, via Sondheim-style recitative and a socialist sea shanty, and yet all these elements feel part of a coherent and original whole. The whole thing is put together with real care and rich production values. Brilliant stuff!

A musical podcast with wlw pirates and pirates songs? I was doomed to love it. Songs are simply amazing and I played the whole album on repeat more times than I can count. The cast is so talented and delivers even the simplest lines in interesting and memorable ways. Yeah, I love it so much.

They say this was recorded remotely but I don't believe them; the audio quality is incredible, and the sound design and soundscape are just bonkers. 4/5 because I think some of the songwriting is a bit clunky. But really, really impressive to listen to overall.Read full review »
