    Trailer: Pirate Material
    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!
