The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

It's time for another deep dive into non-OFMD pirate media! This time: Disney's "Treasure Island." Now infamous as one of the most expensive animated features of all time (and one of the costliest box office flops), this fusion of 19th-century adventure tale and futurist SF epic wowed Co-Captains Jenn and Lea. And not only because they are both deeply in love with Captain Amelia Smollett. Hop aboard!

We run down a bunch of sneak peeks, photo leaks and other tidbits from the OFMD cast and crew about the upcoming Season 2! Now that filming has finished, it's time to speculate and look ahead, from David Jenkins' provocative flag tweet to Vico's incendiary insta post. What are your hopes and predictions?

It's a journey through illness and history as Jenn and Lea talk with epidemiologist Wes Martin and learn a lot about scurvy: What it is, how people get it, and why it's dangerous. (The teeth really do not go back in!) But we don't stop there: We'take a historical tour of the diseases and dangers of the Age of Piracy, many of which still afflict people today, thanks in no small part to imperialism, colonialism, environmental and economic racism and other systemic inequities. (Also, an important reminder: Hey, crew, wash your hands.) Connect with Wes Martin on Twitter: @weslungus Want to know more about public health today and how to help?

We'll end the year with a side quest! Instead of our favorite pirate media, Co-captains Lea and Jenn take a deep dive off the plank to talk about a DIFFERENT pirate media: "Muppet Treasure Island," starring the absolutely luminous Tim Curry and a great cast of our favorite muppets (and some of our favorite humans). How did a 19th-century novel become a beloved children's movie with a frog captain, a pig femme fatale and the motleyest of motley crews? Very well, actually. We think this delight is the perfect cure for "Cabin Fever" (cue: AAAAHHH).

It's our favorite month and our favorite holiday! Jenn and Lea celebrate Spooktober with a look at some Pirate Horror. From the not-so-scary ("Headless") to the engagingly creepy ("Pirates of the Caribbean," "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island") to the truly scary ("The Fog"), we compare and rate some ways to combine our love of pirates with our--well, Lea's--love of horror. Can YOU solve Jenn's decades-old spooky mystery? And finally, we have a seasonally appropriate bout of "Wed, Bed, Behead" with our Rocky Horror co-star.

Jenn and Lea talk with Ruth Hanson, the hilarious dynamo who's creating the upcoming pilot "Ladies of Fortune," a queer pirate drama centering on Anne Bonney and Mary Read. (Co-starring Damien Gerard as Ben Hornigold!) So how did we end up talking so much about Eddie Munson, Steddie fanfic and "Stranger Things"? And how did we talk so much about monster loving?

It's our first live show! We couldn't find anyone to mug for a dinghy, so we couldn't get to Bristol in person for Our Con Means Death. Not to worry: The Con Crew set us up with a virtual platform. We take questions from Twitter and the live chat and argue about bad pirate jokes, cats vs. dogs and spend more time than you might expect talking about raccoons.

Con season has been in high gear, and while we fans still have lots of chances to connect, cosplay and generally enjoy our hyperfixations together, there's just one event that we're waiting for most eagerly: Our Con Means Death, the first OFMD fan con! We talk with the crew about how it all came about and what con-goers (in-person and virtual) can look forward to. We also hear from Sally, our Dragon*Con ambassador and review Jenn's "Dungeons and Damiens" experience. (Spoiler: Both were great fun.)

It's been a big week in the fandom, between the skele-maid flag, the "Dungeons and Damiens" fundraiser, and Dragon*Con, but we start with an interview with Benny, who talked about autism representation on OFMD, with some added notes by other autistic fans. Then Lea and Jenn delve into the show's depiction of trauma in various guises. It's a comedy! But still!

Our return from unintended hiatus is ably assisted by Dr. Rob Spirko, disability studies scholar, who brings us great insights and a helluva game of "Wed, Bed, Behead."

Damien shared about his journey, from the UK to California, surviving life-threatening injury and illness along the way.

We play the world's toughest game of "Wed, Bed, Behead" (rules-free!) for which Jenn gets her villainous nature cranking. Along the way we celebrate Disability Pride Month (Jenn sends love to her fellow spoonies, who are playing life on Hard Mode), and we celebrate (and crush on) Mary Read and Anne Bonny.
