In an episode written by listener, Daniel Carr, we explore Mary Read and Anne Bonny; who were two of the most famous female English pirates of all time, and among the very few women tried for piracy in the early 18th century, during the height of the Golden Age of Piracy. This is the case of The Pirate Queen.

Small Act of Kindness:

 

Even with the issue of the Coronavirus, we need to maintain our friendships even if it is at a distance for the moment. So I want you to do something I know very well by this point in time. I want you to make yourself a nice cup of coffee and give someone a video call, whether through Facebook, Google, Skype whatever service you want, and have a Quarantine Coffee date with someone. Whether that is a friend, someone from your family, or just whoever happens to answer the phone. We could all do with a ‘pick-me-up’ at the moment and this might be just the thing to put a smile on someone's face, particularly those who are stuck at home all on their own right now. A friendly face, could do them the world of good!
