FINALLY (+mini-rant)
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 lungs that Henry seems to have all the markers of an HSP who had potential attachment issues as an infant/child king combined with having had a highly stressful childhood (being king and having to be taught to rule and make high-stakes decisions from an early age!). That combo, attachment issues and high-stress childhood, tends to make an HSP waaay more likely to experience depression and anxiety later in life, which I speculate could explain Henry’s mental health struggles at a time of great conflict, which is poison to HSPs. This could totally be me reading too much into it, but him being described as a lover and not a fighter at the same time that he vehemently avoids conflicts whenever at all possible....kinda makes sense! Anywaaaay, I love the podcast, helps the time pass at my night job! I’m also reading Danièle’s book “Life in Medieval Europe: Fact and Fiction,” and I highly recommend it for other amateurs like me!

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 professional medievalists.

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 »
