The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the life and times and afterlife and after times of legendary Gentleman Pirate, Stede Bonnet. Stede is kind of renowned in the 2020’s as having been a bit of a cr*p pirate, but was Stede really that bad? We’ll find out for in this episode we will probe all that Stede got up to from his early life to Stede’s marriage, possible difficulties that Stede had going on as outlined by North Carolina Maritime Museum archaeologist David Moore and that nagging feeling that Stede had. The call of the seas, if you will. Stede would answer that call and we have lots of records of the booty-looting Stede got up to from that point onwards. Along the way, as we’ve covered before, Stede got a little help from his friends. Well, an allegedly true friend, if you will (again). A black bearded friend, if you will, will, will (again, again). But when the heat would be on, the fleet would be gone for that friend had a cunning plan. Stede does not appear to have been party to that plan. But what happened to Stede after that? Stede held a grudge and revenge prospers no person it would appear because two shakes of a Stede later, Stede would be begging for his own life. There may also have been a cunning escape somewhere along the line and this one was the stuff of movies. Ultimately though, Stede would succumb to a grizzly death and be left to roam the world… All that and more on this week’s file.
