“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 »

“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.”

“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 »

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 »

“Genuinely interesting content but ruined by a horrible nasally/electronic voice ( as is obvious from the title ).

“Been enjoying learning about the past until episode 101. Medieval Beer.
