Medieval sex workers
I listened to this episode with interest, but as an epidemiologist, there was one glaring omission: STDs and their consequences (particularly gonorrhea and syphilis), including neonatal transmission. There was no effective treatment or antibiotics back in those days. Given the potential for very widespread transmission, facilitated in large part by sex workers, what was the impact on society, including morbidity and mortality? As academics, I would have expected you to have researched this, as there is some literature out there. Sorry to spoil the fun!

Nathen Amin clearly has no idea what Donald Trump has done to my country. It made me sick to hear him compare Trump to Henry VII in that they’re both a “fresh start.” Maybe he should stick to what he knows, which is clearly not U.S. politics, nor the current day Republican party.
