| 31 May 2022 | 2. A Damned Man | 00:58:55 | |
After a stressful day (ship run aground, haunted by a ghost, captured by the residents of the island you crashed into, having hostages stolen by way tougher pirates, etc.) Stede Bonnet realizes that one can be both a gentleman and a pirate. A Gentleman Pirate, if you will. Oh, that rings!

| 07 Jun 2022 | 3. A Gentleman Pirate | 01:18:01 | |
The Gentleman Pirate is ready to meet the wider criminal community, but does the wider criminal community want to meet the Gentleman Pirate? The answer is generally no, but there is one pirate who is extremely ready to meet this ponce. And that pirate is none other than Blackbeard himself.

| 14 Jun 2022 | 4. Discomfort in a Married State | 01:14:00 | |
Stede Bonnet’s life turns from literal nightmare to metaphorical dream when he awakens from his near death run-in with the Spanish to find an astonishingly attractive man at his bedside. Even better, this man (spoiler, it’s Blackbeard) fancies a fine fabric and is a full-blown theatre gay, so our smitten heroes team up to become a lighthouse. Then they eat marmalade (not a euphemism). Join us aboard the Gay Pirate Podcast as we talk about Our Flag Means Death season 1, episode 4, Discomfort in a Married State!

| 28 Jun 2022 | 5. The Best Revenge is Dressing Well | 01:29:36 | |
It’s party time! The Revenge crew raid a ship and come away with invites to some sort of fancy party for hoity-toity people, where Oluwande and Frenchie conduct the world’s first pyramid scheme, Blackbeard charms everyone as Jeff the Accountant, and Stede has no fun at all until these posh nobs turn on his beloved Ed, at which point he pulls out the sick burns—both metaphorically and literally. Back on the Revenge, Izzy Hands is trying to start his own homophobia party, but no one wants to because “be gay do crime” is literally the point of piracy. Join us aboard The Gay Pirate Podcast as we discuss Our Flag Means Death season 1 episode 5, “the Best Revenge is Dressing Well.” Read the stuff we talked about in this episode: The tumblr post about race and the representation of Blackbeard in Our Flag Means Death Flowers and what they stand for Gavia’s article for the Daily Dot Don't forget to check out the episode webpage for images of a bunch of the stuff we talked about this week!

| 05 Jul 2022 | 6. The Art of F**kery | 01:17:21 | |
Ed foolishly introduces Stede to the Art of F**kery, and Stede, theatre gay that he is, obviously cannot wait to try it himself. The crew pull out all the stops and trick some unsuspecting Dutch merchants into participating in immersive theatre. Ed, who was supposed to murder Stede, instead has a trauma flashback about killing his dickhead dad, which results in his and Stede’s relationship becoming even closer. Lucky for everyone, Ed taught Stede how to get stabbed without dying, because Izzy fooking Hands challenges him to a fooking duel for Ed’s heart. Stede wins because the man has expensive tastes, and as we all know, Brazilian cherry wood beats sword.

| 12 Jul 2022 | 7. This is Happening | 01:25:45 | |
The Swede has scurvy, but who cares about that when Blackbeard might leave the Revenge? Lucky for everyone, a trip to St. Augustine solves both problems, because the crew go round up both some oranges and some poignant backstory from Jim’s nana while Stede takes Ed on date—sorry—treasure hunt! Join us aboard The Gay Pirate Podcast for a discussion of Season 1, episode 7, This is Happening. Don’t forget to grab your tickets for our live show on July 23rd!

| 19 Jul 2022 | 8. We Gull Way Back | 01:36:23 | |
You know that feeling when you’re trying to bask in moon glow and some jackass with a weird mustache and a shitty attitude interrupts? That’s right, Calico Jack is on the scene, ready to cause a ruckus and doing a right fine job of it too. He has a plan to get Blackbeard away from the Revenge before the British show up, and he would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for this meddling witch and his little bird. Instead, Jack dies (good riddance), and Ed returns to the Revenge in time to get captured alongside his beloved like this is a Shakespeare play or something. Also there’s that moment with the foot touch and The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, RIP all of our hearts.

| 26 Jul 2022 | 9. Act of Grace | 01:08:41 | |
Izzy Hands had a whole plan to rescue his beloved Blackbeard from the clutches of Stede Fooking Bonnet, but Edward Teach had other ideas. After invoking the titular Act of Grace, Ed and Stede end up at the Academy for Wayward Seamen, where a clean shaven Blackbeard-turned-Ed confesses his feelings for Stede and they KISS on the BEACH because they are GAY PIRATES IN LOVE!!! But then, oh no! Stede gets kidnapped by Chauncey Badminton who shoots himself through the eye in a drunken haze, causing Stede to bolt home like a panicked rabbit. Seemingly abandoned by his love, Ed returns to the Revenge just in time to (unfortunately) save Izzy from the crew’s mutiny.

| 02 Aug 2022 | 10. Wherever You Go, There You Are, part 1 | 00:42:03 | |
Stede “the Audacity” Bonnet thinks he can just slide right back into his old life, but instead, Mary’s like “new phone, who dis?” and his kids are like “dad who?” and Evelyn’s like “murder’s a natural cause,” so Stede’s gotta skedaddle, like, now. After finally realizing what we’ve all been screaming at our TVs this whole time (that he’s in love with Ed, obvs), he stages an epic f**kery and follows his heart into the sea. Meanwhile, Ed spends a while practicing healthy heartbreak coping until Izzy “top me, daddy” Hands ruins everything and turns him back into the Kraken. To prove that he is still Blackbeard he cuts off Izzy’s toe, throws all Stede’s stuff out on the lawn, pushes Lucius overboard, and maroons the crew on the literal desert island emoji 🏝, bidding farewell to Bonnet’s playthings just in time to miss Stede’s reappearance. Of course. Join us for PART ONE of our discussion of Our Flag Means Death season 1 episode 10, Wherever You Go, There You Are.
