In today's episode we discuss the complex set of ideological, political, and economic processes that impacted the lives of non-normative populations in Medieval Europe, and how this affected daily life. 

There's a lot going on in this episode, but the most important thing is that Andrew mixed up "Big Band" with "Big Beat," and the result is awesome. 

Today we learn about the cat in question.

How do we deal with difference? This is one of the most fundamental questions humans confront when organizing societies, from the moment on the playground when we realize that the other kids might hold different views from us on things like the rules of baseball, whether or not that was a strike, and whether or not someone has a big stupid face. In the next few episodes we will look at how medieval Europeans dealt with differences of faith, ethnicity, gender, and physical health.

In today's episode we interview a genuine lapsed Catholic to learn about the religious life of a normal person in the modern Catholic Church. This is methodologically problematic, but we are going for a flavor not like gospel truth.


Andrew had fun editing this one, here's the songs playing in the background:


"For You" - Zeeky Beats
"Sunsets" Aso
"Happiness" - CrazyJazz
"Return" - Mingu5
"Your Favorite Place" - Joey Pecoraro
"Out For A Walk" - Mingu5
"Waves" - Matt Quentin
"Dreams" - Joakim Karud
"ill never know _ green tea" - nymano

I forgot all the questions I was asked this year, so instead I did an episode about sewage. It's for the best.

An examination of what it was like to live in a medieval city based on issues surrounding public health, crime, and business regulations.

There's a whole lot of feces in this one. 

Today we begin to examine the class system within the urban society of the middle ages. Also: Nature. 

We continue the discussion of urban growth in the middle ages.

Episode 54: The Class System Part 3, The Commoners Part 2, Cities Part 2, A Narrative of Urban Development Part 1. Now there's a title. I should be a show runner on the Netflix. I've got the gift, I tell ya.


Oh this episode is about cities and stuff.
