The Pirate History Podcast

I’ve been listening for months, and neither hide nor hair of any pirates. Was going to ding a star, but then thought: Why? I really like it anyways and it’s one of my favorite podcasts that I quickly listen to when I see it in my voluminous feed. His writing is good, and he is a great presenter, and I like how he gives a real sense of the events he covers. And that theme song, are you kidding me?!?! Might be the best there is on any podcast ever.

I’m an author who stumbled across this podcast while searching for information on privateering. I absolutely love the vast amount of information and the way in which it’s delivered. The subtle humor is so entertaining! One of my Favourite podcasts

I started listening to this podcast around September 2023, and immediately got hooked. I started looking into the people and stories outside the podcast, blabbing to my friends about obscure pirate facts, and I was even a pirate for Halloween. I stopped listening in January-ish as my life got very busy, but I refound it about a month ago and I can’t stop listening. As a high school boy with adhd it helps occupy my brain while doing dull tasks or even relaxing. Matt builds engaging narratives, and thrilling storylines from historical fact, and his voice is that of a seasoned campfire storyteller. Definitely would recommend.

I just found this podcast and since I love pirates, I’m glad I did. Lots of good history, well written and the narrator has a solid voice and good pace. Love it!! Todd - Cohost Middle Aged And Creeped Out podcast

He knows how to tell a good story and does his research. Unfortunately he can go off on tangents that really don’t have much to do with pirates and then sometimes just randomly disappears and does uploaded for periods.
