This podcast… well, it’s good
Arrrr
A huge fan of the show but
What started as a great show has been going downhill. Episodes used to be 45 minutes to an hour, but now they're only 20 to 30 minutes. The writing quality has declined. If you're going to cover background history, you should do it in one or two episodes, like you did in the beginning. Just give us the important context and move on. No one wants to listen to 30 minutes of filler about some Scottish noble with no relevance to the main story. And waiting three weeks for a similar episode is frustrating. Either focus on the golden age of piracy in Nassau or switch to a different time period. I was skeptical about the Barbary pirates season, but it turned out to be a great story. If you’re not ready for the golden age yet, you can explore other time periods. There's so much more to piracy than just Blackbeard, Calico Jack, and Anne Bonny. You could talk about Black Sea pirates, Wokou, or The Pirates of the Andaman. The show won't run out of material because piracy has always been around!
Dive deep matey!
Loving the deep dives on the world and the people involved! Definitely giving me some inspiration for a story I’m writing.
