Pirates on Purpose Radio
Pirates on Purpose Radio is our first Podcast. It’s name—and mission—is in homage to:
- Coboat, the sailing coworking/coliving center where this podcast launched, which had its own “Pirate Beta”
- Pirate Radio: the tradition of unregulated—and often illegal–radio broadcasts (& ancestor to the podcast ancestor!)
- Those who try. The Greek root of “pirate” is peira (πεῖρα): “a trial, an attempt, an experiment”
“Admire those who attempt great things,
even though they fail.”
