Pirates! NEW SERIES

Hi folks, I want to tell you about my latest series on Dan Snow's history yet. Now I expect like me you have grown up reading or watching movies about pirates. And I assume, like me, that you just love that. See. Swashbuckling rogues, having adventures on the high seas, disregarding authority, not taking it from the man, not taking any nonsense, inverting the strict hierarchy of the time, living as a band of merry men and women, taking from the rich and giving it to themselves, surging across the great oceans and ships that crash the maw wave in their ears, the smell of teak and salt and gunpowder in their nostrils and getting carried away.

But you know where I'm coming from. But what would you say? If I told you that basically everything you think about pirates isn't true. Treasure maps? Pirates?

Buried treasure? So what is true? Well, my latest series that is running all through this July, with new episodes every Monday, answers that question. We'll be telling the real stories, the pirates you know. Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, and Anne Bonnie.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (2 minutes, 249 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
