126 - A Pirate of Exquisite Mind
Manage episode 346577816 series 2911823
Today on the show we talk about William Dampier, a pirate turned ship captain turned pirate again. Dampier headed the first official Royal Navy mission to collect flora and fauna from distant lands. Along the way he gifted the English language hundreds of new words, recipes, and understanding of winds, currents, and sailing.
But he also committed lots and lots of crime along the way. How do we tangle with complicated legacies such as this? Is there a way to become pirates in our own minds, with our own incomplete maps?
Note: my audio got lost for the last few minutes of the episode, but it doesn't affect the listening experience. I'm not leaving Kris hanging though!
