Introducing: Pirate History

The Pirate History Podcast is a show about the real men and women of the Golden Age of Piracy. We cut through the mythology and romanticism to examine why these regular people chose to become Villains of All Nations. There's plenty of exploration, swashbuckling adventure, big characters, and drama but we'll also discuss the politics, religion, and economic factors that defined the pirates. Did you know that pirates fueled a worldwide black market in exotic birds? Or that they played a key role in spreading rice cultivation throughout North America? Well they did. But they did steal the birds and the rice. If you want to learn about Captain Kidd's home life or Mary Read's childhood, or the clandestine rebellion that backed the Pirate Republic at Nassau, we'll talk about all of it.
