Blackbeard the Pirate Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

In the early 18th century, one man makes his name as the most notorious pirate of all time. The legend of Edward Thatch has spawned television shows, novels, and major motion pictures.

But how much is fact and how much fiction?

This is a Short History of Blackbeard the Pirate.

Written by Luke Kuhns. With thanks to Colin Woodard, author of The Republic of Pirates: Being the true and surprising story of the Caribbean pirates and the man who brought them down.
