American Medieval
MultitudeAmerican 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.

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!
