Listen "Raising Pirates"
Episode Synopsis
I've always been a troublemaker. It's in my blood.
You see, through my father's line, I am a descendant of Cornish pirates.
You may have heard of the Pirates of Penzance. The Gilbert & Sullivan opera was written about real pirates who harboured in a town named Penzance, at the southern tip of the United Kingdom. If you drive 15 minutes north from there, along the A30, you'll come to a place called Carbis Bay.
That's my namesake. I'm a Carbis.
