Intro to the article...
If you are a regular listener to Dutch MW pirates there will be some names you are very familiar with - Barones and Casablanca, for example. They are often on air, they are very well known on the scene and have been going for more than 40 years. But which pirate has been going for the longest - and who is the oldest pirate still on air today?
The answer to both questions is the evergreen Karel Doorman. He was born in 1935, made his first pirate broadcast as an 18-year-old in 1953 and can still be heard several times a week at the grand age of 85. He loves the hobby just as much now as he did all those years ago - if not more.
