S3:E24 - Pirates! With Author and Retired Marine Musician Robert Jacob

In 2012 I checked into the Marine Detachment, Naval School of Music, as Private First Class Bishop. I reported to the MarDet's Commanding Officer, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jacob, who is now my guest on today's show.
CWO5 Robert Jacob (Ret., USMC) has long been actively involved in living history portrayals, including the French and Indian War, Revolutionary War, Mountain Man, Western Gunfighter, and Pirates. After retiring from the US Marine Corps in 2013 and while researching pirates, he realized that much of the historical record about them was contradictory and incorrect. He immediately set about remedying the situation himself. As of this podcast episode, he is on the brink of publishing his third Non-Fiction book about pirates.

I know you'll enjoy this interview as much as I did.
Check in next week to hear from Author Michael Buchsbaum discuss how to approach world and character building.

I was stationed with "Jake" when he came into the Marine Band at Parris Island. We were Lcpls together but not for long as he was rehearsing the band as a Lcpl and very very quickly moved into the NCO ranks before my time in the PI Band ended in '85 and we both went our separate directions. Great leader even from the start of his USMC career!
