Picture this: you’ve stolen tonnes of oil and you’re on the run. How would you escape, and (if you’re real-life pirate Captain Tonz) how would it involve Rod Stewart?

Episode three is the nail-bitting chronicle of how Tonz and his crew did the impossible by stealing back their vessel and escaping from the law, in a tiny barge surrounded by huge boats.

Tonz’s incredible journey took him from Hertfordshire to the high seas, and over the course of nine episodes, you’ll hear it all. Tonz recounts unbelievable, unforgettable stories about near-death scrapes and international escapades. Podcast hosts (and non-pirates) Derren and James listen rapt, asking the questions we’re all dying to know about how the reality of being a pirate matches up to our culture’s mythos.
