Backbeard’s Pirate Radio

Backbeard’s Pirate Radio chronicles the continuing adventures of the world’s hairiest pirate and his crew, done in the style of an old-time radio broadcast.

In the days before cell phones, the internet, and even television, people would gather around a small box called a “radio” and listen to adventure stories featuring characters like The Shadow, The Lone Ranger, and Little Orphan Annie. Unlike television, the “radio” had no pictures, so people looked at the wall, or the carpet, or each other instead. To keep from getting bored, they would invent pictures in their heads about the stories they were hearing. This was called “using their imagination.”

So close your eyes, open your ears, and let your imagination run free as you thrill to these Backbeard adventures!
