Welcome to the radio show your overlords hoped we would never make. The Pirate Nation Podcast is a Tampa, Florida based community and political activism show that was set sail by a group of local frustrated peasants that found themselves represented by local scalawag politicians. What started slowly as a grass roots movement began to organize into a group of friends with a common interest in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. We broadcast from parts unknown somewhere within the Tampa Bay waters. We are the voice of the resistance. Welcome to Pirate Nation.
