Bedside Manners 2: Bleed ‘em Dry
Our language is ripe with turns of phrase that invoke the idea of blood. These idioms seem to illustrate some of our most intense human experiences – it’s the thing that we can’t live with, after all. So tell me this: what happens when the blood spills?

Hollywood adores the loveable rogue. Pirates are often depicted as wisecracking, kind-hearted individuals who set out for treasure but inevitably do the right thing. In the end, he usually gets the girl and the treasure.
Pirates. The word itself hints at a story. And in our final episode, we have a couple more tales to tell.

Pirates 11: Still Waters
Pirates created their own republic and formed a democracy. They made allegiances with each other and governments. The Golden Age of Piracy even sounds somewhat...romantic. But all good things come to an end.

Customer Reviews
Aaron can do no wrong
Everything this guy does is incredible.
What a draaaag
I love deep dives into topics. The more details, the better, so the concept of one season per topic was appealing. I could hardly get through even a few episodes though. The story is delivered in such a flat, low-energy tone that my mind kept drifting away. No humor. No character. And the slow, plinking piano music in the background gives a lonely, despondent vibe.
What should have been a fun story just bummed the the F out.
Well done podcast
I absolutely love history podcasts but there are too many silly ones that have lots of banter and silly laughter. This is not one of those. With researched writing and articulate hosts, this does offer some speculative stories but makes sure to stay close to historical accuracy. I appreciate the straightforward reading and the fact that it is not dry like a lecture. I started following because of the pirates series but I am looking forward to whatever they put out. You will not regret giving this show a listen.
