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.

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"

This podcast is great. I often listen to it when I'm falling asleep and I end up staying awake! My only complaint is the loud singing at the end of every episode. It has woken me up more than a few times...
