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.

Michael and Matt talk about wars between England and France. There were a lot of them, or maybe there was just one. Plus we talk about humility in doing the work of history and how telling stories is really good for making people understand things.

i found the show on youtube when there was only one or two episodes, and i've been listening ever since! i've recommend this podcast to everyone i know.
I listen every week! I learn something, and the conversations often feel like a balm to my soul - both because they help me understand how the past is being used in what's happening in the world now and because the host and guests are funny, honest, and expressive - not what you think of when you think 'historian.' Their excitement in exploring ideas is infectious and delightful!
Terrific variety of interviewees. Every episode has included another set of ideas that has helped to reshape my thinking about both Medieval times and our current days.
This is great! I loved the drinking with historians series during the pandemic and this is a wonderful follow up. Great guests, and I learn something every time I listen.
I make the show. I like it!
