Pirates on the Open Airwaves

"It's like radio used to be during World War II, when the airwaves were used to get messages out to families and friends ... to get important information out to the community."

Renessa Lopez may sound more like Franklin Roosevelt than Blackbeard, but technically she is a pirate.
