A history podcast about the Middle Ages and warfare during those times. From knights to Vikings, crusaders to kings, we will explore the medieval world and its military history. Hosted by the editor of Medieval Warfare magazine, this podcast features guests discussing various topics about warfare, including battles, sieges, weapons, military organization, chivalry and more. We will have conversations with the leading historians and archaeologists in the field, who can tell us about the latest research and debate questions on medieval military history. Look for at least one episode each month.

You get the second star only because it’s a good idea and topic, but poorly executed. I listened to the ‘Myths of the Crusades,’ hoping to find some meat I could sink my teeth into about the crusades, instead what I find is disorganized thoughts and inflated egos. I don’t care what you two think about blogging and how it’s changed how we talk about history, I want to know what you know about the crusades. Let me know when you have some actual content.

Needs work

I have been a big fan of Medieval Warfare Magazine for sometime, so this podcast has been a delight to listen to! Peter is passionate, knowledgeable, and an excellent host!
