About this episode
Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

All great rulers at some point had to deal with the people who had the real power… pirates. I know. It sounds like a joke. But it’s true. 

For centuries, pirates were a huge power to be reckoned with. They didn’t follow any rules, they were violent, unpredictable, and there were tens of thousands of them just waiting to pounce on other ships or cities at any given moment. 

Surprisingly, I discovered that some of the world’s most famous pirates were *women*. And their backstories… you guys. I was shooketh. So much drama. I had to spill the tea. Welcome to the Dark History of Pirates.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out. IDK. lol: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/139701263-bailey
