XHM #796 - "Yo wellermen & wellerwomen" (2026 July 06)

In the midst of prerecorded shows or possible repeats, gak's back to do a proper light summer theme around pirates & sea shanties. We will not get all your favourites but we'll look into TV shows like Our Flag Means Death and do a brief run through some of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. We also try to cover a lot of what's going on in Vancouver festivals before he hits the high seas again for a couple weeks. Bottle of rum optional. 01.
