  • The Scholarly Pilgrim

    Packed full of facts from original research, this podcast serves anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the subject matter, especially with the complementary photos available on the website. I’m not a history buff, but enjoyed being introduced to the topic — especially episode 2, which revealed that in medieval times avarice was perhaps a greater sin than murder (a lesson for our times?) and had a delightful miracle story about chickens coming to life on a plate.
