  • Patterns of Plague with Lori Jones

    Patterns of Plague with Lori Jones
    Apr 2 2026
    There are some very entrenched cultural ideas about the plague these days, involving big, beaky masks, and agonized people flagellating themselves in the street. But the way people thought about and treated plague changed over time, as the disease revisited populations regularly over the course of centuries. And just like our imaginings of plague today can tell us a lot about how we see the medieval world, so the changing way people wrote about plague can tell us a whole lot of interesting stuff about medieval and early modern culture. This week, Danièle speaks with Lori Jones about the evolution of the plague tract, who was considered qualified to write about plague, and some surprising ways religion fits – or doesn’t fit – into the picture.

  • Comparing Women's Work with Nena Vandeweerdt

    Comparing Women's Work with Nena Vandeweerdt
    Mar 26 2026
    Last week, we talked about a woman whose work was to support her husband’s dreams of conquest – and her son’s dreams of rebellion. But what about the medieval women whose work was a little more ordinary? What was the 9-5 like for the women who kept households, shops, and towns running? And how did that work differ from place to place? This week, Danièle speaks with Nena Vandeweerdt about women's work inside and outside of guild structures, how it was regulated, and how opportunities changed for women across time and space.

  • Mathilda of Flanders with Laura Gathagan

    Mathilda of Flanders with Laura Gathagan
    Mar 19 2026
    They say that behind every successful man is a woman, and when it comes to one of the biggest medieval stories of personal success, that seems to have been true. Everyone’s heard of William the Conqueror, the illegitimate duke of Normandy who became king of England in 1066, but fewer people have heard the story of his powerful, indomitable queen: Mathilda of Flanders. This week, Danièle speaks with Laura L. Gathagan about Mathilda's unshakeable reign as duchess and queen, the way she embodied her power, and her role in the conquest of England.

the narrator has a voice that radiates a smile. I could listen to her read a phone book.

Danielle is a delight to hear every week, and it's always great to hear from Peter at the end of every episode. I'm so grateful to these two, especially Danielle, for teaching me so much about the middle ages over the years. The awesome guests and Danielle's instant warmth and easy rapport makes the information easy to comprehend and absorb, and everyone's enthusiasm for the subject and study of all things medieval is positively infectious! Keep up the incredible work!

Incredible and accessible middle ages!
