Hi, I'm Matt Albers, host of the Pirate History Podcast.

The men and women of the Golden Age of Piracy are some of the most infamous and often

misunderstood characters in all of human history. You know their names.

Anne Bonnie, Henry Avery, Mary Reed, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard.

But do you know their stories, their real stories?

Every week over on the Pirate History Podcast, we examine what made these pirates sail the high seas in search of plunder and adventure and revenge.

If you'd like to hear the stories of the real men and women who went on the account and sailed under the black flag,

join us on the Pirate History Podcast.

The Civil War and Reconstruction was a pivotal era in American history.

When a war was fought to save the Union and to free the slaves,

and when the work to rebuild the nation after that war was over turned into a struggle to guarantee

liberty and justice for all Americans.

I'm Tracy and I'm Rich.

And we want to invite you to join us as we take an in-depth look at this

pivotal era in American history. Look for the Civil War and

Reconstruction wherever you find your podcasts. Hello and welcome to the Explorers podcast. I hope you are doing well.

Today is part three in our series on British mountaineer George Mallory and the assault on

Everest. A few notes to start. First, I said in our previous episode that this would be

There was just a lot of stuff going on which gave me enough story to fill two shows instead of

one. Second note relates to the production time of these episodes.
