Listen "60 Pirate King"
Episode Synopsis
Ahoy, Matey, and welcome aboard the Curiosity Sloop. Prepare to have your timbers shivered as Commodore Einstone pulls back the thin veil separating kings from pirates, debunks the myth of buried treasure and explains maritime terms from the Golden Age of Piracy. Get familiar with the Gentleman Pirate, the Prince of Pirates, the Robin Hood of the Sea and learn which monarch was so obese they needed to be carried around in a sedan chair, which made popular keeping goldfish as pets, which exhumed their ancestors to shoot at the corpses and whom they all condemned to perform “The Marshall’s Dance”. PLUS, Blackbeard, Black Sam, Black Bart, Jack Sparrow and Captain Kidd’s cat! Batten down the hatches and crack a cask of grog for Pirate/King.
