Dr. Steven Pitt, assistant professor of history, was recently featured on two episodes of the podcast Real Pirates: Spectacle of Sin 1: Cotton Mather, and Spectacle of Sin Part 2: William Fly.

These episodes, especially Spectacle of Sin 1: Cotton Mather, follow the narrative of Cotton Mather's relationship with sailors and pirates, in particular William Fly, which is laid out in Pitt's article "Cotton Mather and 'Boston's Seafaring Tribe.'" — New England Quarterly 85.2 (June 2012): 222–252.
