Bilgemunky Radio

Bilgemunkywww.bilgemunky.com
For five glorious years, Bilgemunky Radio was a weekly two-hour broadside of pirate music. Be it rap, metal, alternative, or crusty old sea shanties, if it buckles your swash, it gets played! Bilgemunky Radio should be considered PG-13, as songs (and the host) include any number of references to rum, pillaging, or plundering.

Episodes

E209: Farewell and Adieu

Tonight's Bilgemunky Radio marked our last episode before an extended hiatus. Due to mounting technical difficulties we're just not currently able to produce a show of the quality you've come to expect, and will therefore be taking the summer off. This will give us time to regroup, purchase some new equipment, and drink margaritas. Enjoy tonight's episode, and if you can't make it through summer without your Monday night pirate music fix, check out the podcasts :)

E208: Dried Fruit

Kickin' in old school with some Mary Malloy and Stuart Frank. Add a modern splash with some Kapten Pirat and Oddwood and you got a spicy cocktail of piratey goodness.

May 07, 20122 hr 3 min

E207: Make Way for MUTINY!

Do you really want to be a pirate? Yes, yes you do. Because pirates get all the best rum, bacon, and squid ink. 401Ks leave much to be desired, though.

E206: Hung Like a Dog

The Truth About Rum, you ask? Well, if you drink some Black Heart and wind up in Buccaneer's Bog you'll likely have to take your Chances with some Skeletons who then get beat up by Oderlessey who's a Damn Fine Sailor but also a Brutal Pirate although nicer than Calico Jack Rackham but not so nice as Anney Bonney and Mary Read.

E205: THREE SCREENS (but not in stereo)

After three weeks of no show, Bilgemunky Radio triumphantly returns. Much akin to Serenity in Firefly, the new DJ studio is mostly built up from spare parts and junk - but that doesn't mean she won't fly (or at least saunter awkwardly through the air).

E204: I LIKE RUM

I like rum yes I do I like rum how 'bout you? Yar. And then comes the Rum Lag. Sorry about that.

E203: It's Finally Warrrm!!!

Valparaiso Men's Chorus—if you don't already know 'em then you're in for a treat. Plus there's some Ben Gunn Society and Captain Rumbucket thrown in for good measure.

Mar 12, 20122 hr 13 min

E202: YArrawwwwn

Jolly Rogers, Jolly Garogers, Tom Mason, and the Audio Drinking Companion. And a bunch more. Like There be Pirates, BOOM Pirates, Abney Park, Sunken Chest. And more. Like Pirate Jenny, Rustmonster, Sforzando, Whiz Bang, and still more. And more. And more and more and more.

E201: Bewarrr the Big Banks

200 came and went, and now we're on to 201. Having passed such a milestone, is there any reason to trudge forward? Well, let me start by pointing out that despite the rumors, the rum is indeed NOT yet gone. Nor, for that matter, is the pirate music. Tonight we featured a new piece from Pirates Inc, as well as a first-time played favorite from Pirates of the Great Salt Lake soundtrack.

E200: Two-freakin'-HUNDRED!!!

It's our 200th podcast, and we celebrate by exploring the very best of the best from throughout the years! Rock, metal, shanties... it's all here! Thanks so much for all the years of support :)

E199: Our 199th Episode

Scabby the Seaman takes us back to classic Piratey Jenny (or as I like to call them, PJ. Just kidding, nobody calls them that nor should they. Ever.)

Jan 16, 20122 hr 1 min

E196: Release the Krackle!

Bone Island Buccaneers, Budd Bay Buccaneers, Brigands… the b-words were out in force tonight.

E194: Back to Normal

What's normal? Not much in the pirate music world. But blessedly sometimes it's a show that don't founder and sink mid-voyage.

Dec 12, 20112 hr

E193: Snap, Crackle, and POP

After a brief interruption in service last week, we're back on the air and not much worse for the wear. Actually, that's a lie - had some audio issues that we hope to resolve by next week. BUT, otherwise a great show full of the pirate tunes you know and love, plus a little Holiday cheer!

You know that pain that keeps on paining long after the pain should have become less painful? That is lavapain, and there's not enough aloe in the universe.

Oct 03, 20112 hr 1 min

E185: The Week After Yesterweek

The Articles of Black Bart, The Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor… it starts to sound educational but then we throw in The Cat and The Last Time I Went to the Mall. Which says nothing of Love Chum.

Sep 26, 20112 hr 5 min

E184: TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY 2011!!!

Had an extra-long, extra-special episode to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day! Loads of great music, and perhaps a little extra rum to go alongsides :)

E180: More Rum, Gloria!

Tonight we celebrate National Rum Day with, you guessed it, songs of rum. Also songs of villainy, adventure, and battle. But mostly songs of rum.
