I look forward with anticipation for the next episode of The Medieval Podcast. I love to learn about a time before the industrial age with the subjects delivered with ease and humour. So much about the everyday life of regular people is covered as well as other interesting topics. I also like...Read full review »

This is a great podcast. It is both hugely informative and also very accessible. The range of topics is very wide. A thought provoking and enjoyable resource. Very highly recommended.

I’ve been listening to Danielle for a few years now, I just love how she communicates her enthusiasm for the Middle Ages and how she combines academic rigour, modern values and her own truth. Simply one of the great podcasts - she keeps me inspired about medievalism.

Loved this episode. I enjoy all the episodes, but this brought back memories of childhood toys and games. Dispels the myth some folks have of medieval parents viewing children as simply small adults.

It is someone prattling on more about themselves than real history.

Big fan of this podcast—longtime listener & first time reviewer. The host interviews other medievalist experts / authors of some of the latest and hottest books in medieval studies, and she charts an always lucid course through sometimes difficult subjects with incisive questions and good...Read full review »

I can’t stand the voice of Danielle. She might be a lovely person and her podcast informative, but hearing her voice makes me want to stick a wire through my brain and scratch it out of my skull 💀 😖😖

I really like this podcast. It’s both interesting and pleasant to listen to, a rare combination in my experience.

A variety of topics and interviews, well researched and presented with clarity and enthusiasm. A pleasure to listen to.

I am a Medieval History fan who thoroughly enjoys and highly recommends these FYI snippets of history, archeology, art, society, culture, politics and warfare. Equally fascinating are the interviews with other professional medievalists…. except for the upspeakers, the kinda-sorta-“like”ers and...Read full review »

The topics in this podcast are interesting but I agree with the review stating that the presenter sounds like she’s reading to toddlers. Too many questions are asked through giggles and it detracts from the quality of the presentation. In the episode that I listened to this morning the guests...Read full review »

Really great podcast, with a speaker with valuable perspectives on medieval history. I’m learning a lot on every episode, and developing a real interest in this era of history. However, recently there have been several ads added to front end of the podcast and at first it was a mild annoyance and...Read full review »

Can’t hear guest speaker.
lhiliard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/22
Solid show and covers in-depth a period in history that isn’t covered much in detail.
melissajayne80 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/26/22
Genuinely interesting content but ruined by a horrible nasally/electronic voice ( as is obvious from the title ). A shame! But there are other just as good podcasts that you can listen to with a nice voice.
ghastkill via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/10/22
Great podcast and interesting topics. I would give it a 5 but for Danièle’s constant giggling which is very annoying. Maybe it is due to nervousness but she should try to rein it in.
marlauz via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/03/22
Although the host is left-of-center, she’s asks great questions and is an excellent interviewer. The podcast is great and covers a wide range of Medievalist topics. I also appreciate the fact that the podcast features academic interviewees but is definitely not boring. I’d recommend this podcast...Read full review »
C. Turnea via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/22
The content is good, well thought out, but any time the host is speaking, she sounds like she’s reading Mother Goose to a toddler. It’s impossible to get past that smiley, sugary voice thing. Please, less host, more guests!
Jonesy8888 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/22
I really wanted to like this, I love some of the people interviewed, Marc Morris being my all time favorite. But I could barely get past the interviewer and her PC hangups with certain historical terms. Not sure I can stomach another episode though I love Helen Carr, Helen Castor, Lauren Johnson,...Read full review »

This is a great podcast, a very informative and interesting one. Daniele is an exceptional host and an excellent teacher/scholar. Like many, I was stuck in the popular idea of the middle ages which I learned that it is mostly incorrect. I have listened to each episode at least three times and...Read full review »

Interesting topics but horrible host, giggles like a schoolgirl, so annoying that it makes you quit. Please stop the giggle and speak clearly, thank you
positively medieval via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 05/01/21
Been enjoying learning about the past until episode 101. Medieval Beer. The guest on this particular episode seizes an opportunity and turns a discussion about beer into hating on men relentlessly. That’s enough for me, I won’t be listening to a show that encourages misandrists and offers them a...Read full review »

I listen to many, many history podcasts as I crave the information but I really enjoy this the most. So entertaining and erudite. Lovely voice perfect for listening to. Thankyou for your interesting and beautiful podcast

Presenter mumbles and it’s all much too soft
M45typ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/21
As a passionate hobby medievalist I have found this to be my favorite podcast ever and listen to it everyday while going for a walk. Daniele manages to invite real experts to each episode and yet always keeps the conversation fun and enjoyable. The topics are very diverse and often mind-opening....Read full review »

Fascinating guests and an interviewer who does a great job of helping them shine. I’ve especially enjoyed the recently animal studies topics (pigs and eels!) and would love to hear more in that vein.
Kate Topper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/21
I stumbled upon this podcast while doing some research for a book I’m writing. The information is fantastic and engaging. The topics are varied and extremely interesting. I now listen just for the fun of it. Keep up the great work.

Finally the podcast I’ve been craving, lol! I’m listening back from the beginning, and having only found this gem about a week or two ago, I’m just coming across the episode about King Henry VII. I just finished the book “The Highly Sensitive Person,” and my brain is screaming at the top of its...Read full review »

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with the Middle Ages. I’ve always been very interested in the myths and the magic of the Middle Ages, but also in knowing how normal people lived during the medieval period. Danielle has a wonderful way of painting the bigger picture of medieval life,...Read full review »

It is rare to find a good and acurate Podcast when it comes to historical topics. This Podcast is a gem! I am a Medievalist myself and think this is one of best Podcasts on Medieval History on this platform. I really enjoy it! Thanks for sharing your amazing work!
Minimeanni92 via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 09/04/20
I recently discovered this podcast through the Medievalists.net Twitter account. I am so glad that I did! The host, Danièle Cybulskie, presents the rich history of the Middle Ages in an exciting and insightful manner. I throughly enjoy every episode and look forward to many more!

I was lucky enough to come in to this podcast from the first episode and I’ve enjoyed all of them. There’s been a good selection of guests. The love for the subject comes through with real enthusiasm - I remember laughing alone in the episode about Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
the_aardwolf via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/22/20
I just adore this podcast. I learn so much, but it’s never dry. I always come away with a new direction for research, a thread to follow, a book to read, or a topic to learn more about. The host is incredibly enjoyable to listen to, not just because she’s so well versed in the subject. She has a...Read full review »

The host does an incredible job!!
daisyrosetulipp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/20
Daniele has surpassed herself with the stories from Franco Sarccetti. It’s subjects like this that give a real insight into attitudes in the Middle Ages. I think after a lifetime of interest in this period, I know more than the average layperson but I can always find something new and interesting...Read full review »

I love this podcast. Very informative with great interviews and little unnecessary banter.
JessePara via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/20
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode but would like to mention you forgot one movie that I think is exceptionally medieval. That would be “Robin and Marian” starring Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn and Robert Shaw. The duel at the end of the movie between Robin and the Sheriff is so worth waiting...Read full review »

The delightfully charming & merry narrator of this podcast describes the medieval world with such colour, detail & enthusiasm, the veil of time slips & one finds oneself happily living in the medieval world.
