There are few expeditions from the so-called "age of discovery" as harrowing
as Ferdinand Magellan's attempted circumnavigation of the globe. The journey
was plagued by storms, scurvy, starvation, and mutiny. By the time the

make their way back to Spain. What became of the man who has so often been
celebrated as the first person to sail around the world? Tune in and find out
how blood filled goblets, vengeful slaves, and Quentin Tarantino all play a
role in the story.
