• The Buccaneers Season 1

  In today's episode listen to Stephanie discuss the Apple tv show THE BUCCANEERS, specifically focusing on season 1. It's set in the Gilded Age, but as it focuses so much on romance and modern sensibilities it almost feels like you're not watching a period piece. Beware of spoilers, so it's a good idea to watch season 1 ahead of time. It's available on Apple tv or Prime Video (for a limited time). Season 2 is currently out, but this episode is focusing on season 1 only.
