Same sex marriage, transparent pay structures, workplace injury compensation, democratic voting practices. No, we're not describing a political wet dream Richie once had. We're describing a Pirate ship.

Pirates were responsible for some truly unprecedented and progressive practices. Nowadays, however, they have been relegated to silly caricatures or romanticised rogues. We sat down with [Sam Conniff Allende](https://twitter.com/samconniff?lang=en), author of ["Be More Pirate"](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Be-More-Pirate-Take-World-ebook/dp/B077XMGSQ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1529960085&sr=8-1&keywords=be+more+pirate) to talk about about the hidden history of Pirates and what we can learn from them.

[For today only (Tuesday, 26th June) you can get be more pirate for 99p on Kindle!](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Be-More-Pirate-Take-World-ebook/dp/B077XMGSQ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1529960085&sr=8-1&keywords=be+more+pirate)
