In this episode we talk to the delightful Dr. Lotte Reinbold, professor of Medieval Literature! We ask her all our weirdest questions about chivalry, old manuscripts, and which historical figure she’d most want to date, and in return she grants us knowledge.
Topics include: Dungeons & Dragons, Sir Gawain & the Green Knight, Robert Cotton, Tide PODS, Lord of the Rings (as usual), The Canterbury Tales, forgery, Thomas Chatterton, female sexuality, Margery Kempe, Julian of Norwich, Christian mysticism, co-option of Medieval symbolism, The Princess Bride, Daniel Radcliffe, The Knight Before Christmas, young Stalin, Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, and Joe Rogan.
