  • This funny and accurate!

    So entertaining and well-referenced! I’ve learned a lot about Medieval Europe in my time including an undergrad degree in the topic. For the events I’m familiar with, the discussion is very accurate, and I appreciate them citing sources. I’d recommend it for anyone even vaguely familiar with the European Middle Ages, as a fun way to zoom into events and people, behaving well and badly!

I really wanted to listen to it, but it’s hard when you’re in the car, where I listen to all my podcasts, and when 1 of the voices u can hear clearly, but the other is super quiet. Then when u turn it up to hear the softer voice, the 1 that was normal is now WAY TOO LOUD! Maybe editing the volume of the voices would help? I wanted to listen to quite a f... more
