  • Great content

    Love the topic choices, length of episodes (long enough to bring out key aspects of subject matter, without going into the weeds for those like me who are still not too knowledgeable about the period), and the pace of delivery.

    (You would want to say “diminish”, not “mitigate” when you were making a joke about Gutenberg showing “mercy” to his adversary in one of his litigations, there in episode 100.)

  • Great podcast for a good night's sleep

    I really wanted to like this podcast because I love medieval history, however the narrator drones on and on. He rarely changes the pitch, pace or volume of his voice, dragging down a fascinating subject into a monotonous and boring listen best employed when one needs to fall asleep. Do not drive while listening!

  • Tedious

    And oddly entertaining podcast that is well researched, but ultimately becomes tedious.

    The source material for this period is mostly obscure, while the constant analysis of etymology and such doesn’t make for a compelling listening.

  • Fascinating and Calming

    I love this podcast so much. It’s both fascinating and calming. I listen several times to each episode. I’m happy as soon as I hear the odd, beautiful electro-medieval opening music and the audio detail behind the narrative throughout the episode makes it that much more engrossing.

  • Nice

    I came across this looking for more information on Gerald of Wales. I listened to several episodes. Great stuff. Appreciate the breakdown of words and their roots. So much cool stuff newly lost to time in these old texts.
