Who lives to tell the tale of our favorite queer pirate romance/comedy? OFMD returned for a second (and final?) season on HBO Max. Linda Codega, journalist (and sailor!)  joins me to discuss:

• What’s up with Blackbeard tourism IRL?
• Is Buttons a sea druid?
• Can we make Calypso’s Birthday the new queer Halloween?
• The pirate polycule? 
• Why we really need season 3!

Linda H. Codega is an award-winning entertainment journalist who has written about science fiction and fantasy media for over five years. They were previously a staff writer for io9 where they covered film, television, books, and analog games. Much of their work covers a mix of tabletop roleplaying games, pop culture, fandom, and queer intersections.
