Episode 1: Blackbeard and the Golden Age of Piracy

The Oli Patrick Show

The 22nd of November 2018 was the 300th anniversary of Edward Thatch/Teach’s death. Maybe those names mean nothing to you, but the alias of that man from Bristol should: Blackbeard. I’m a big fan of the Golden Age of Piracy—of which Blackbeard was apart of—so, in this episode of The Oli Patrick Show, I discuss that historical period, the legend behind Blackbeard, and how Blackbeard has inspired many works of art in the modern world. I enjoyed recording it and sharing my knowledge (and Wikipedia’s), so hopefully you will too! — Oli Patrick.
