We tell all kinds of stories from Newfoundland, Canada but the ‘strange and unusual’ is our sweet-spot. You’ll hear true-life accounts of death-defying courage, tales of horrible sea monsters and stories of murderous mummers. Alongside the history and folklore, we chat with modern-day storytellers who stop by to talk about their work. It’s a bit like ‘Ripley’s Believe It or Not’ meets ‘Entertainment Tonight.’ Strange bedfellows? Definitely. It’s fun though. So, spend some time with us unravelling ‘the yarns that knit ya'.

Black Bart in Newfoundland

It was June 21st, 1720 and the sun was just rising over Trepassey, Newfoundland. The fishermen listened to the songbirds and gentle surf on the rocks as they readied their boats. Everything indicated a beautiful day ahead.

Then the birds stopped singing.

In the distance, there was a rumble of canon fire. On the breeze came the sound of trumpets and drums. Everthing was about to change…

Black Bart, the dreaded pirate, had come to town.

This episode explores the strange truth and tall tales of pirate Bartholomew Roberts and his time in Newfoundland.
