American Medieval is a podcast about the Middle Ages, but with an American twist. If America has never been modern, it’s because we’ve always been slightly medieval.

This episode on "crusadercore" and the fetishization of medievalish stuff going on in current pop and political culture is terrific and fun and chilling all at once.

if you're interested (c'mon, you are), have a wee listen to @tlecaque.bsky.social talking about a bonkers sermon that shows how early white settlers were ALL IN on holy war - kind of like during the medieval "crusades." #medievalsky

one of the things i'm learning about doing the @americanmedieval.bsky.social podcast is that I kind of record with guests in a fugue state and by the time I have to listen to the edit, i honestly have no idea what happened in the episode so I get to experience everything like a new listener

Is there such a thing as “sad sack medievalism?” I’m thinking of Dreher but also all the tech bros who sort of read Tolkien (but didn’t get it).
Kind of losers with no friends, only yes men, who long for a period they imagine people would be forced to respect them

Rod Dreher has fueled some of the more apocalyptic currents on the Trumpist right. Robert F. Worth spoke with the writer to understand his worldview:
Rod Dreher Thinks the Enlightenment Was a Mistake
The influential author derides secularism and the modern world. Conservatives—including the vice president—are joining him on a march back to the Middle Ages.

I'm a reader, rather than a listener, so I generally don't do podcasts. But this one was impossible to resist.
new episode Wednesday!
we're joined by the amazing Nancy Thebaut and Melanie Holcomb to talk about the OUT-STANDING "Spectrum of Desire" exhibition at the Cloisters Museum in NYC.
just in time for Valentine's Day, you can learn about the spanky plate and medievals having sex. enjoy! #medievalsky
