The purpose of a “press gang” is to forcibly conscript unwitting civilians into military service. Well, the purpose of this Press Gang is to babble through interesting, exciting, and strange stories throughout history. Just note that I am not a historian or physically capable of forcing anyone to do anything. I am a mildly funny dork with very unfortunate friends who love me too much to say no to guest-hosting on this podcast. So come join us for the stories, stay for some laughs, and who knows, maybe you’ll learn something. Now let’s get into it.
