The Ballad of Anne and Mary is a 5 part historical fiction musical podcast directed by Lindsay Sharman and Laurence Owen, written by Sharman with music by Owen. It is set in 1721 during The Golden Age of Piracy and follows Nathaniel Mist, a reporter in London who has been commissioned by privateer Jonathan Barnet to interview Anne Bonny and Mary Read, two female pirates Barnet captured, in order to write a sensational history of pirates. However the real Anne and Mary turn out to be very different than Mist expected...

No Accounting for Taste: Anne and John married despite John's aggressive sexism and demeaning behavior, downplayed as they do break up, though it's over him being The Stool Pigeon and not his behavior.

comment
Dirty Coward: When Mist dreams about the capture of the Revenge, Barnet is described as having stayed on his ship out of range of the pirates' guns while his men did all the fighting. This may not be true for the real Barnet though since the dream was shown to not be entirely accurate to the real events.

comment
All Men Are Perverts: In the first scene of the series, the opening song gets sidetracked by several verses about the titular women's beauty, much to their chagrin. Later Bess sells a paper about Anne and Mary to a man by telling him that it, "Includes a woodcut of the ladies in their britches." When Bess pays a beggar woman to cause a distraction so she can free a locked up Mist the woman gets a ton of donations for showing the crowd her breasts, much to Bess' chagrin.

comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Rackham and his crew are shown to abhor rape and have a set of rules keeping crewmates from attacking one another or stealing. Scratby, the slimy turnkey watching Anne and Mary who tries to get Mist in trouble with Barnet, is bothered by his plan to torture the two for the location of Rackham's Treasure, though he goes along with it when Barnet offers him a cut of the treasure.

Kick the Dog: Captain Graham, in addition to being a horrid captain who got over a dozen people killed on his ship, also kicked a cat into the ocean. This is the final straw for Rackham, especially since the cat was a Calico, and Rackham, being Calico Jack, took offense to this.

Laser-Guided Karma: Barnet gets his comeuppance when he tries to get a crowd to kill Ann, Mary, and Mist only for the three to pretend to be innocent people being harassed, humiliating him publicly before knocking him out. This, combined with their escape leaves him unable to retrieve Rackham's Treasure, incapable of getting revenge on the women, and left in relative obscurity all of which would be hell for the greedy, spiteful, egotistical Barnet.

Alternate History: Downplayed. The series plays a bit fast and loose with the real history of the pirates, hitting the broad strokes but slightly altering the specifics such as how Anne joined Rackham's crew. The end of the series features the biggest difference with Anne and Mary escaping to Singapore, with the real life story of what happened to them being a fabrication made to cover up their escape.
