Without romanticizing the crime and violence inherent to a life of piracy, the liberation from societal expectations is not unique to pirate narratives. At its core, Black Sails is a show about myth and story. Television writer Daphne Olive joins me to discuss the way different ways people perceive art, and how such things are expressed in online communities. We also discuss the benefits of taking media at face value, the value of ambiguity in storytelling, and what it's like to engage with an online fandom for the first time.
