American Medieval is a podcast about the history of the Middle Ages, but with an American twist. Each week, host Prof. Matthew Gabriele is joined by expert guests to explore not medieval history, but how and why the Middle Ages have such a hold on our collective imagination. After all, if America has never been modern, it’s because we’ve always been slightly medieval.

Every ep is an incredible deep dive! Not sure if medieval history is your jam? Start will the eels ep and you'll be hooked.
I was so excited about this podcast, but it didn't turn out to be what I wanted it to be about. The episode descriptions hint at intrigue -- a whole episode about medieval eels! -- but the podcast is more interested in talking about medieval studies than medieval history. If you're interested in academics and the study of history, this is the podcast for you. If you're interested in history, you may be disappointed.
I have told everyone about medieval eels!!
Great Show, keep it coming :)
