Blackbeard, 1680 - 1718

from Murderhobos: Masculinity Throughout History Hosted by Adam Franti

Today on Murderhobos, Edward Teach, alias Blackbeard. Possibly the most famous pirate in history. Know primarily for his beard and his reputation for brutality and violence, he is in every way the pop culture exemplar of the golden age of piracy But his real life and violent death are a fascinating case study for the reality of piracy, shipboard life, and class conflict in the early decades of the 18th century. Submit questions to [email protected] or on our Patreon discord by November 4th 2025. We'll be hosting a year-end Q&A for all of our pirate episodes too - please submit questions for that by December 16th. Subscribe to the show on Patreon: bit.ly/murderhobospatreon.
