I just listened to your episode on the Alliterative Morte Arthure (1400), about which I’m writing a monograph, and I found your episode accurate, informative, and very engaging. The presentation is learned (scholarly) but accessible. The host knows his stuff and does his homework. The production value is high! I’m looking forward to listening to more episodes.
Thank you!
