Medieval Me: Opening the Doors of Medieval History

Ever wondered what daily life was really like a thousand years ago? Medieval Me: Opening the Doors of Medieval History moves beyond the kings and battles to explore the textures of ordinary and extraordinary lives across medieval Europe and Scandinavia. Your host, Wendy Jordan, brings a unique perspective shaped by her academic background-a Master's in archaeology from Cambridge and a history degree from the University of Oklahoma. This foundation allows each episode to blend scholarly insight with engaging storytelling, whether she's discussing the latest archaeological finds, deciphering old sagas, or unpacking the social structures of the time. You'll hear about the people often left out of the grand narratives: the craftspeople, farmers, traders, and religious figures who built the world we know today. The goal is to make this distant period feel immediate and relatable, connecting the past to our modern curiosities. Produced by RDG Communications, this history podcast is for anyone who finds that the most fascinating stories aren't always about the figure on the throne, but about the culture they ruled over. Tune in for thoughtful, well-researched conversations that open a door, inviting you to step inside and look around.
