Episode description as stored

In the early eighteenth century, one man made his name as the most notorious pirate of all time. The legend of Edward Thatch, aka "Blackbeard", has spawned television shows, novels, and major motion pictures. Stories abound of his wild eyes striking fear into enemy hearts, of the six pistols strapped to his chest, and of his arrival in battle with his jet-black beard set ablaze. But how much is fact and how much fiction? This is a biography of Blackbeard. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by Paul McGann. Written by Luke Kuhns. With thanks to Colin Woodard, author of The Republic of Pirates . This episode was originally featured on Short History Of...
