Meet Captain Tonz
Having spent decades at sea as a pirate, Anthony ‘Tonz’ Cummins has lived within the borders of legality, in part through his movements across international waters and also through the often felonious tasks he has been hired to carry out for shady figures…
Thanks to the often unlawful nature of his exploits, along with the increasingly daring nature of the stunts he pulled to complete his missions, Tonz quickly gained notoriety in the maritime world and became a wanted man in numerous countries. Although arrested many times, he has almost always narrowly escaped incarceration.
His exploits are so outlandish and bold that they’re hard to believe.
He’s never spoken in detail about his real life tales that truly sound stranger than fiction…until now…
The Podcast.
Recorded from three different countries over the course of a couple of years, OPM gives an intimate insight into the mind of Captain Tonz. Recounting his days as a Peiran Pirate, he reflects on a life spent in the grey area of maritime law.
As he reveals definitive moments on the high seas, he also shares his philosophical approach to piracy, inspired by the marauding sailors of Ancient Greece and a unique perspective on our relationship with the sea.
Each episode sees Derren (a trained journalist) and James (a pirate enthusiast) probe Tonz to separate the romantic from the real; fact from swashbuckling fiction.
