Noteworthy News: A Slice of Medieval Podcast

 

This last week has been crazy around here and then I went out of town and I didn't get a review in. So I'm going to add a Noteworthy News entry because I haven't done one since February! It also seems these turn out to be about my favorite new poscasts and this one is no different. I have found one I'm totally obsessed with called, A Slice of Medieval,  and want to share for those of you who love the Wars of the Roses, and any medieval history. These two hosts are fantastic and entertaining and have the most wonderful guest authors and historians on their shows. The content is fresh and relevant to today and their style of bantering back and forth and being very human in their discussions make it an all around top three of mine right now.

The hosts are both well known authors, Sharon Bennett Connelly and Derek Birks. They have all kinds of well known guests on to talk about their latest book or a historical time that they are experts in. To name just a few...Elizabeth Chadwick, Matt Lewis, and Kathryn Warner, some of my favorites. Every episode is new and entertaining and I always learn something or come away with a new book to look into. It you love the medieval period and new content this is one you need to subscribe too. So far everything is free too which is great as a lot of the podcasts I love have started charging for premium subscriptions. Hopefully this post will give you a new way to learn medieval history and find great new authors!
