Wootcasts from the Past: Talk Like A Pirate Day Edition

After almost four years of our daily podcast, we sure have a lot of episodes in the can. (It’s where we do our best thinking.) Have you noticed how certain themes recur? We have! For example, grab hold of the common thread running through these four thrilling files of yesteryear, which are all about International Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Talk Like A Pirate Day 2006 – How weird is it that TLAPD fell on a day when we were scheduled for a Bluetooth Shanty? Not that weird, apparently, because it happened again two years later.

Talk Like A Pirate Day 2007 – It seems like only 18 months ago when we recorded our first “Pirate Speech The Easy Way” podcast. But actually it was 24 months. Time flies when you’re performing repetitive tasks! This was Pirate Speech lesson one, “Small Talk.”

Talk Like A Pirate Day 2008 – Hey, another Bluetooth Shanty! How many of these things are there, anyway? Sometimes someone asks us to post a comprehensive link to them all. You can bet that’s someone who doesn’t realize there are literally dozens of versions; it’s crazy.

Talk Like A Pirate Day 2009 – Click here to get right up to date with today’s podcast thread! It’ll prep you for TLAPD tomorrow—it’s “Pirate Speech The Easy Way,” lesson two! In the interest of the environment, this podcast contains 75% recycled content.
