no pirates for months.
Come on, matey: bring back the pirates.
Okay, unless I missed something on this podcast and what it’s about, he has completely lost the thread of pirate history.
Feels like we’ve veered off of pirates.
It has become more about wars, empires, royal marriages, etc and almost no mention of Pirates. Where are those stories? I miss them.
Why any discussion on whether gay or not? To what end does this help, especially on absolutely no evidence. Superfluous and unnecessary.
I love all things pirate! 🏴☠️
This dude can’t wait to declare someone gay. 🙄
Spend the whole episode on a speculation of rape with no evidence of the act because racism and bad Europeans. 🙄
I wasn't that into pirates necessarily, but I love history podcasts, listen to them all, and this one is integral to the collection. Who knew? Luckily, Matt did, and so do the people from whom he draws his excellent references to weave into engaging stories. Turns out in order to understand world history as a whole, you absolutely need to know the history of pirates. Matt is a scholarly and careful storyteller and his voice is dead easy to listen to for hours. Listen to this show.

so that's where they got captain jack sparrow. awesome.
This was a great episode. I knew barely anything about Drake beforehand. That voyage into the unknown was astonishing. I had no idea he sailed so far.
Always the best of intentions ascribed to the Indians, nothing but nefarious motives to the Europeans. Condescending sarcasm gets old as well.
over half of these episodes have absolutely nothing to do with pirates this podcast should have been titled " History of Europe and it's Religious Ideas"
👍
love this podcast. Thanks Matt
👍
skipping the hell out of this episode. That accent isnt worth it.
My goodness this podcast is awesome. This and the previous 2 episodes on Sir Francis Drake are so good. Thank you!
