Reviews
- Amazing, interesting, cannot get enough of it!
I ADORE this podcast. I was looking for someone who had talked about the movie Beckett and low and behold I stumbled upon the history podcast of my dreams. As a Jew and history minor myself this has sparked my interest in the middle ages/medieval period and inspired me to take a class this fall semester focused on that period of western history. Come for the laughs, stay to really learn fascinating facts that I’m sure will eventually come in super handy at bar trivia!

United States2 years ago - A great podcast for both listeners and guests!
Full disclosure, I have guested on the show twice (Outlaw King and Six the Musical) and had an excellent time, but that has in no way impacted my review of the show. I was a listener long before I was a guest and can say wholeheartedly that Media-Eval is a great show either way. (And come on, what a great pun in the title!) Dr. Decker knows her subject inside and out, and it's a great listen both when the pop culture is on the laughably wrong side (i.e., Braveheart) and when the piece actually t... more
Apple Podcasts5Tracy TanoffUnited States2 years ago - Huge fan!
Big lover of your podcast ever since I was a student of history I was fascinated with the middle ages and my current love of film and podcasts made me a huge fan immediately
Apple Podcasts5Tignoty22United States2 years ago - Educational and Fun
This podcast is one of the few that I always make a point of keeping up on. The hosts are very clever and well-informed, and the criticism of both the good and bad points of the media reviewed is very on-point. Dr. Decker praises when the history is accurate (especially if it's lesser-known history) while ripping into the bad tropes and stereotypes all too common in these stories in a very satisfying way.
Apple Podcasts5MidwestMedievalistUnited States2 years ago - The Green Knight
I only got about 30 minutes into this episode before turning it off. After seeing the movie, I wanted to listen to a podcast where medievalists translate some of the symbolism for people who don’t know about this stuff. But this was terrible and also bewildering. They called the movie pretentious (you’re medievalists?? That’s pretty pretentious !) and complained about it being weird. (Medieval literature is weird! What were you expecting?) They also complained about plot points in the movie that... more
