American Medieval is a podcast about the Middle Ages, but with an American twist. If America has never been modern, it’s because we’ve always been slightly medieval.

I drew the maps for this book! Also it’s really good. Matt and David tell a good tale about a *totally* different time when the world fell apart around fecklessly powerful people. History rhymes, man…

Anyway…It’s a great read, and a fascinating story. Plus Surprised Eel Maps!

Such a great podcast already & this was really interesting
Hey Saturdays are great days to catch up on podcasts, I hear. Listen to our latest and learn about medieval ideas about Jesus (kind of not really different from modern ones) and also watch @profgabriele.com get shamed by the Time Machine question…

UNC medievalist Brett Whalen (and altogether stellar human who was admittedly on my dissertation committee) was on American Medieval with @profgabriele.com. And I gotta admit that … I like my Jesus history with a Vermont accent. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

I'm loving @profgabriele.com's @americanmedieval.bsky.social podcast, but I keep being taken aback by his question to guests about what childhood-they would have thought of them becoming a medievalist. I mean, duh, what else was I going to be? Now I realize, from the security of my solipsism,
