- great balance between history and humour.
A podcast for dorks by dorks. The episodes are ridiculously long, because they do cover a ton of ground on each topic. Olivia’s laugh is so nerdy it’s infectious. Aran is sharp and his accents are hilarious. 12/10
This is my favorite podcast! I have learned so much, and enjoyed it so well. Olivia and Aran illuminate our past like the book of Kells, with joy, with mirth, and with erudition. Huzzah!

Two historians with a playful streak explore the quirks, oddities, and deeper histories of the medieval world. Episodes blend rigorous scholarly context with humorous banter, covering topics from wealth myths in West Africa to peasant revolts, medieval travel, Gothic architecture, and automata. The show often features multi-part series and lively debates, with a track record of long, information-dense discussions that feel like a nerdy, in-depth history class brought to life in a relaxed, indie production style. A standout is the balance between sourcing nuance and entertaining tangents, which can broaden both curiosity and critical thinking about how medieval history is told today.
