    "Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal" with Samuel Marquis
    Apr 30 2025
    Lindsay is joined by author Samuel Marquis to discuss his book, “Captain Kidd: A True Story of Treasure and Betrayal,” which will be released on May 13, 2025, by Diversion Books. Captain Kidd has captivated imaginations for over 300 years and inspired many stories about pirates, but was he a criminal? Just how many ships did he plunder, how many men did he force to walk the plank, and how many throats did he slit? Or is the truth more inconvenient, that he was a buccaneer’s worst nightmare, a revered pirate hunter turned fall guy for scheming politicians? In “Captain Kidd,” Marquis reveals the real story. Kidd was an English-American privateer and a leading New York husband and father, dubbed “trusty and well-beloved” by the King of England himself and described by historians as a “worthy, honest-hearted, steadfast, much-enduring sailor” who was the “victim of a deliberate travesty of justice.” With honors far more esteemed than the menacing Blackbeard or any other sea rover at the turn of the 17th century, how can Kidd be considered both a gentleman and pirate, both hero and villain? The ninth-great-grandson of legendary privateer Captain William Kidd, Samuel Marquis, M.S., P.G., is a professional hydrogeologist, expert witness, and bestselling, award-winning author of 12 American nonfiction-history, historical fiction, and suspense books, covering primarily the period from colonial America through WWII. His American history and historical fiction books have been #1 Denver Post and Amazon bestsellers, and have received multiple national book awards in both fiction and nonfiction categories, including the Kirkus Reviews and Foreword Reviews Book of the Year, American Book Fest and USA Best Book, Readers’ Favorite, and the Colorado Book Awards. His historical titles have also garnered glowing reviews from #1 bestseller James Patterson, maritime historians, U.S. military veterans, Kirkus Reviews, and Foreword Reviews (5 Stars). His pirate book, “Blackbeard: The Birth of America,” has been an Amazon #1 Bestseller in U.S. Colonial Period History. The Marquis lives with his wife in Louisville, Colorado, where they raised their three children. Become a member on Buy Me A Coffee for as little as $1/month to support the show.

    Apr 9 2025
    Lindsay is joined by illustrator and author Katy Horan to discuss her book, “Murder Ballads: Illustrated Lyrics and Lore,” which will be released by Andrews McMeel on April 29, 2025. In this unique, illustrated collection, Literary Witches co-creator Katy Horan unearths the true and fictional stories behind twenty traditional murder ballads, exploring the beauty and horror of the art form through stories, lyrics, and original illustrations. Murder Ballads is a guide to the origins and cultural impact of murder ballads as a music genre, covering its roots in patriarchal violence and white supremacy, as well as its contemporary relationship to true crime. Mysterious and alluring as the songs themselves, Murder Ballads will delight history enthusiasts, armchair musicologists, true crime fans (and critics), as well as anyone who appreciates the darker side of folk music. Katy Horan is a Texas-based Illustrator and fine artist. She received her BFA in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2003 and has since become known for work that is dark, beautiful, and almost always about women. She is the co-creator, with writer Taisia Kitaiskaia, of Literary Witches: A Celebration of Magical Women Writers and The Literary Witches Oracle: A 70-Card Deck & Guidebook.

  • "Violent Delights, Violent Ends" with Nicole Von Germeten

    "Violent Delights, Violent Ends" with Nicole Von Germeten
    Mar 19 2025
    Lindsay is joined by author Nicole Von Germeten to discuss her book, “Violent Delights, Violent Ends: Sex, Race, and Honor in Colonial Cartagena de Indias.” How did women fulfill their needs and desires in the seventeenth century? This book takes readers into the witches' sabbaths and spell-casting of Cartagena de Indias, a vibrant Caribbean port city. Women from Africa, Spain, Portugal and indigenous women from Colombia bought and sold love magic potions and remedies as they tried to find lovers and husbands. They risked the dangers of violent men and cruel inquisitors to satisfy their need for love ... and money. Trained as a historian of Spain and its global empire at the University of California, Berkeley, Nicole von Germeten’s research has taken her to dozens of archives and libraries on three continents. Her first two books investigated African populations and their social and religious organizations. More recently, she has written five books about the history of crime and policing in Colombia and Mexico. We discuss her book “Violent Delights, Violent Ends: Sex, Race, and Honor in Colonial Cartagena de Indias.” Violence and desire intertwine as readers take a trip to the 1600s and learn how women found love and satisfied their desires in a tropical port city. Nicole is an associate dean in the College of Liberal Arts at Oregon State University, and has written extensively on the history of crime, violence, gender, and sexuality in Latin America.
