Some tell pirate jokes, some talk like pirates. Others cheer for the Pittsburgh Pirates of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Society loves Captain Jack Sparrow and news watchers gasp at the fact that there are still pirates in the ocean, hijacking loot.

But what about the wives of pirates?

Daphne Palmer-Geanacopolous joins the pod to talk about a woman who stood by her man, who just happened to be one of American history’s most notorious pirates.

Her new book is The Pirate’s Wife: The Remarkable True Story of Sarah Kidd.

During this episode, we talk about the trials and tribulations Sarah endured while married to William Kidd. Hers is a unique story that can teach us not just about pirates, but about what some would do in the name of love.
