Anne Bonny the lesser known Irish pirate

We have cabin fever so this week we are kicking off our two part pirate special with Anne Bonny, the lesser known Irish pirate.  Forced to leave Kinsale at a young age due to questionable parentage, Anne ending up carousing around the Caribbean with her paramour Calico Jack and a crew of unscrupulous pirates. She captured public imagination as a hard living, violent pirate and a woman no less.  Tune in to hear the blood curdling legends and more than a few pirate puns... it's been a long quarantine. Help!
