The Glorious Lie: Why You Wouldn’t Survive Leaving England for Jamestown
They told you Virginia was a land of promise. Of gold. Of glory. But what they didn’t mention was the hunger, the desperation, and the slow unraveling of your mind and body before you even saw land. This episode peels back the propaganda and takes you on a grim, immersive journey through the first brutal steps of England’s colonial fantasy — a voyage built on lies, sailed by the forgotten, and fueled by desperation.
Settle in for a slow, dark descent into false hope, crowded ships, and the cold reality of what really awaited those “lucky” enough to be chosen. If you make it to Virginia at all, it won’t be with your dignity intact.
