Anne Bonny & Mary Read: Pirate Queens with Greg Jenner (You're Dead to Me)

We've got a VERY special guest aboard the Queens ship! Greg Jenner, historian, author, and host of the BBC's You're Dead to Me, joins Katy and Nathan to discuss two of the most infamous women of the Golden Age of Piracy: Anne Bonny and Mary Read.

Were Anne and Mary besties? Lovers? Just two women trying to make it in a very dangerous, very male-dominated world? The historical record is messy, the legends are even messier, and Greg is here to help us sort through it all.

Grab your rum, hoist the sails, and prepare for some high-seas scandal!
