I hadn’t realized how we have come to associate Robin Hood with Christmas customs. I was interested in this episode because my father was the stunt double for Alan Hale in the 1930s Robin Hood movie starring Alan Ladd.
Excellent and wide ranging content on the middle ages. Like a never-ending survey course! Alas ads are ads.
Awesome pod with Michael Livingston. I have to get his book, too!
