The Medieval Podcast

I look forward with anticipation for the next episode of The Medieval Podcast. I love to learn about a time before the industrial age with the subjects delivered with ease and humour. So much about the everyday life of regular people is covered as well as other interesting topics. I also like the respect shown to the guests who provide their expertise to discuss all things Medieval.

I usually prefer a more chronological approach to my history but Ive really enjoyed hearing about topics I might not have encountered (my favourite episode was the one on béguines I think). I especially like the interviews, medieval stories, and deep dives into particular topics. the list style episodes aren’t for me personally. Some topics I’d love to see would be the Iceland sagas, the Mabinogion, and maybe a few deep dives into early medieval pagan religions and how Christianity spread across Europe. Daniele if you read this don’t listen to that other review, please continue to laugh at your own jokes! Your pure joy in the content is part of what makes the podcast so enjoyable, I feel like I can always hear you talking through a smile or on the verge of a laugh and I personally think it’s great. Your cheer is a pure delight, keep doing you!

Solid show and covers in-depth a period in history that isn’t covered much in detail.

Great podcast and interesting topics. I would give it a 5 but for Danièle’s constant giggling which is very annoying. Maybe it is due to nervousness but she should try to rein it in.
