About this listen

Captain Jim Thornfield, a former naval officer, and Bill Cartwright, a lifelong pirate, are licensed to do Britain’s dirtiest work at sea. They plunder, they blunder and with the Crown watching and the rope waiting, every voyage becomes a gamble. Set in the politically murky waters of the 1850s, Pirate Material is a swashbuckling, high stakes adventure. Think A-Team on the high seas. God save the Queen!

    Jan 22 2026

    Former pirates. Temporary heroes. Disposable assets. Basically, they were the A-Team of the 1800s. Pirate Material is a dark comic history podcast about the men the British Crown couldn’t control, so it hired instead. In the 19th century, criminals were rebranded as privateers: paid to attack Britain’s enemies, forgiven their past crimes, and quietly erased when policy changed. Haul anchor and hold onto your hogshead for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. PIRATE MATERIAL!


    Starring Ant McGinley & Damien St John, award-winning creators of Wrestling With the Champ.
