Francis Drake and the War in Latin America

In our action-packed season 1 finale, we follow Drake as he twice leads naval flotillas into the heart of the Spanish Empire.
On our journey, we'll detail how Cartegena almost became an English colony, why Drake did not invent the Mojito, as well as fun Gaelic facts, as we chart the battles, victories, and ultimately defeats in Drake's desperate middle-aged attempt to hold on to his glory before both he and John Hawkins meet an enemy they cannot defeat, their bowels.
We also want to extend our deepest thanks to all of you listeners who have stuck with us through this experimental first season. We're still working it out as we go but the positive feedback from all of you guys has convinced us to keep going.
We will be taking a 1-month break before coming back with a series covering the 17th century.
