The legend himself Chris Parr joins Strider to discuss the barbarous and globe shifting act of piracy committed by Every and his crew in the Red Sea. There is a reason everyone on Earth was out to get this guy even though his career as a pirate was short lived. However, the impact he had on the future of global commerce is still felt today in many ways. This pirate story has it all: the bold, the bad and the barbarity!

Strider Wilson hosts a podcast delving into history through the perspective of a mature erudite bro. He was one unit away from a history minor at U.C. San Diego, but he does’t let that stop him from examining what it would have been like to be a bro posted up on Bunker Hill or uncovering what the chillest aspect of surrealist art is. Buckle up because Strider will not only venture into humanity's shared past. He will venture within himself. Asking real questions such as, “exactly how tight are pirates,” or “what if he stayed that extra semester in school,” “would my life have been danker?” Strider firmly believes that history is tight because we all should for sure blaze our own trails… but in what direction?
