- Pirate-history readers who enjoy a theatrical retelling
- Worth noticing
- Its Blackbeard explainer says he demanded a medicine chest worth £300–£400 and distinguishes slow matches under his hat from the burning-beard legend.
Field notes
The first issue is organized around Blackbeard's 1718 blockade of Charleston, with a back-page record that separates the legend from the documented account. The site says the ransom was a medicine chest valued at £300–£400 and notes that the often-repeated burning-beard image is not in the 1724 book it cites. Host Jen is described as a former talk-radio host who now runs a cigar lounge in Pinellas Park.
