    The Metaphor Goes Hard

    Episode Notes Flint is gay, and it is very important you know that before this episode because the "pirate" metaphor makes us get pretty deep. Before that we talk about Larp and stuff but just be prepared for some big feelings and self reflection brought about because Miranda sent one simple letter. Its almost as big a deal for us as it is for Billy Bones (RIP[maybe]) Art by kvhastings on instagram Our intro music "Spark of the Sea" by Ronnie Palmieri Production support provided by Bristol Pod Works Brought to you by the kind support of Where They May Radio patrons.
