Pirate historian Dr Jamie Goodall joins me to talk about her research on everything to do with the world of pirates during the Napoleonic age and beyond, including her brilliant book Pirates of the Chesapeake Bay. We talk about the Disneyfication of the piracy, why taverns weren't always scenes of debauchery, and bust a few myths about pirate democracy.
