Ben Franklin's World Podcast

A podcast about the Golden Age of Piracy and the real men and women that shook the world. We discuss the pirates, buccaneers, privateers, and smugglers that threatened the trade and stability of Old World empires. We talk about the kings, queens, priests, & governors that ran their world and we talk about the people who lived in that world. Brothel workers, merchant fences, slaves, witches, indigenous peoples, and all the regular people who were torn between the cruelty of their masters and pirates alike. History, high seas adventure, myth and magic, voodoo, treachery, and freedom await.
